Florida farm grew from 3 rescued cows to 180+ animals across 420 acres

In 2015, Erin and Chris Amerman purchased a 210-acre farm near Gainesville, Florida, with no idea that it would become Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary. They began by rescuing three cows, which grew to over 180 cows spanning three properties of 420 acres by 2019. The sanctuary also now cares for donkeys, pigs, horses, a bison, a turkey, and a water buffalo.

Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary is a farmed-animal sanctuary, wildlife refuge, and community organization dedicated to fostering compassion for all animals through rescue, outreach, and conservation. The Amermans moved from their dream house to fund Critter Hills, a 200-acre ranch and hay farm in Alachua, ensuring they had space to care for their growing herd.

Visitors can participate in monthly tours and public events, learning about and connecting with the sanctuary's rescued animals.
