Just outside Kansas City — and a world away.
Redbird Farm & Sanctuary
Nestled in the quiet countryside of Paola, Kansas, Redbird Farm & Sanctuary is a peaceful retreat where animals roam, nature heals, and people reconnect.
Home to more than 200 rescued animals — from curious goats and gentle donkeys to clucking chickens and waddling ducks — our sanctuary is a place where every creature is cherished and every visitor finds space to breathe.
Visit the Farm
Whether you’re coming for the day or just passing through, a visit to Redbird is more than just a trip — it’s an experience. Walk the grounds, meet our four-legged (and feathered!) residents, and witness the joy of animals living safe, happy lives.
“Such a beautiful place with over 200 critters living together in harmony!
This city girl appreciated being able to pet and feed and learn about so many of them.”
