Meet the Residents.
The animals you’ll meet below are permanent residents of Hidden Bee Farm Animal Rescue. Each one has a story, and all receive lifelong care, safety, and support here on the farm.
We especially welcome animals others pass over.
Hidden Bee Farm makes a deliberate effort to take in animals that need more from us. More time, more patience, more care. That includes seniors, animals with disabilities, and animals managing conditions that most rescues aren’t equipped to handle long-term.
- Senior animals who are harder to place
- Blind animals, including those blind from birth
- Animals with amputations
- Animals wearing braces or recovering from serious injuries
- Skeletal and genetic conditions requiring ongoing management
- Animals with long-term medical or mobility needs
We can’t always say yes. Space and resources are real limits. But these are the animals we think about first.
Horses & Ponies
Every horse here on the farm comes with ongoing care needs. Several are cherished seniors, one is blind, one lives with a collapsing esophagus, and all of them require regular farrier work, hoof management, and veterinary oversight to stay comfortable and healthy. Katz is our one highly spirited soul, keeping life interesting and reminding us that personality matters just as much as care plans.
These horses are not here to be worked, sold, or passed along. They are here to be safe. Their care is lifelong, and it is only possible because of continued community support.

Blind
Goldie
Goldie was already blind when she came to us. We don’t know exactly when or how she lost her sight, but she arrived that way and has been well cared for here ever since.
Johnny
Donkeys
Donkeys are famously resilient, gentle, and deeply social creatures — and ours are no exception. Many arrived with physical needs and emotional wounds, and all of them thrive thanks to ongoing hoof care, feeding support, and regular attention from our volunteer team. They’re not “barn extras”; they’re family, and their unique personalities have become some of the most cherished here at Hidden Bee Farm.

Cows
At Hidden Bee Farm, our herd of seven cows has a special place in our hearts. These gentle giants come from all over, each with their own path to the farm. Among them are two remarkable blind cows who navigate life with incredible grace and resilience, and a wonderful male “emotional support” cow who stays close and provides comfort and companionship.
Cows are herd animals, and ours thrive together. They spend their days grazing, playing, and soaking up the sun, living safe, steady lives in the community we’ve built here, thanks to continued support.
Oliver
Blind Since Birth
Rita
Rita was born blind. She has always navigated the world without sight, and she does it well.
Blind Since Birth
Samson
Samson was born blind. He has never known sight, and it has never slowed him down.
The Pigs
Our pigs are some of the funniest, most affectionate characters you’ll ever meet. Each of them came to Hidden Bee Farm because someone underestimated how big, smart, and long-lived pigs can be. They thrive in their spacious pastures, love attention, and have unique personalities that make every day on the farm brighter.
The Goats
Oh, so many goats here on the farm. Each one is a different breed, many are in their senior years, and they make sure life is never dull. Our vet once told us goats are like teenagers — they do not listen and they always find trouble. Between the stubborn moments, the comedy, and the surprisingly sweet hearts, they are some of the most entertaining and beloved animals we have.

Sophie
The Sheep
CC is our only sheep right now, and she is one of the more remarkable animals on the farm. She lives with Spider Lamb Syndrome, a genetic skeletal condition classified as semi-lethal. Most lambs born with it don’t survive six months. CC has her own timeline.

Others On The Farm
Not every rescue story fits neatly into one category. These are the hardworking, quirky, and much loved farm friends that keep the place running. From our turkeys and chicks to our bees and barn companions, they all play a role here, and they all rely on daily care, feed, shelter, and the behind the scenes costs that keep a rescue farm healthy and safe.

Still Part of This Farm
Some of the animals who shaped this rescue are no longer with us. They are not footnotes. They were residents, companions, and in some cases, the reason this place exists at all. This section is for them.
Jasper & Zephyr
Goats · Close to 18 years with usJasper and Zephyr were Jackson’s first goats, and in many ways, they were the beginning of his journey into farm animals. We got them as brothers when they were still small, and they stayed with us for close to 18 years. That is a long time to love two animals, and a long time for them to be part of the rhythm of everyday life here.
They were with us before the rescue had a name, before there was a website, before there was a mission statement, and before Hidden Bee became what it is now. Back then, it was simply this farm, this family, and the animals we loved. Jasper and Zephyr were part of that beginning, and they helped shape the heart behind everything that came after.
We lost both of them within weeks of each other to old age, and it was incredibly hard. Losing either one would have been painful. Losing both so close together felt like the closing of an important chapter.
They were deeply loved, deeply familiar, and woven into our story from the start. They were not just goats we had for a long time. They were part of the foundation of this place.
Hammie
Pig
A beloved part of this farm. Hammie is missed every day.
Peter
Goat
Peter had a real place here, and left a mark on everyone who knew him.
Brownie
Goat
Kind, steady, and always present. The farm feels his absence.
Mr. Darcy
Rooster
He had opinions, volume, and presence. He ran his section of the farm like he owned it.
Tom
Farm Resident
Quiet and steady. The kind of animal you notice most once they are gone.
Michael
Tortoise
Michael was our lifelong tortoise.
