Animal Lovers, say “Hello” to Cox Farms. Located at 4280 Carolwood Drive, Melbourne, this family run farm is home to many rescue animals including goats, pigs, guinea pigs, horses, ducks, chickens even a cow named Maybelle. So often people think they would like a different pet; something other than a cat, dog or bird. But it usually doesn’t take long before the novelty passes and they realize its hard work!
Cox Farms provides a loving, safe environment for these rescue pets but they could use some help; dinner time gets expensive when you have a house full of guests. There is a table out front for the public to drop off much needed supplies (pet food, carrots, apples, fruit without pits, romaine lettuce, corn etc.). They’ll also take leftovers; the pigs are not picky eaters! If you have a few extra hours a month to help lighten their workload, that would be great also.
Cox Farms offers pony rides for children’s Birthday parties, plus they take some of their animals to nursing homes to meet our local seniors.
Visiting Cox Farms is an interesting and fun experience, stop by sometime and check them out. They always need volunteer help to care for the animals or handymen to maintain their enclosures. Meet their beautiful animals and bring them an approved treat. You will feel good and it will make you smile!
