"Where Animals Help Children Feel Understood"
At Animal Lovers Farm, autistic kids connect deeply with gentle horses, playful donkeys, and friendly farm animals — finding calm, confidence, and joy in nature’s embrace.
Welcome to Hello Paradise
A very special sanctuary located within Animal Lovers Farm in Venus, Florida
Here every child is free to be themselves – Surrounded by donkeys, horses, goats, ducks, and nature’s calm embrace.
Families come for the weekend and leave with hearts a little lighter.
"Healing Happens, When You Feel Safe"
Our Mission
Why Farm Therapy Works
We created Hello Paradise for children on the autism spectrum and their parents – a place where calm replaces stress and connection comes naturally.
Animals dont judge, rush, or demand.
They respond to emotion, energy and kindness.
Science Supports What We see everyday:
- Studies show that interacting with horses and farm animals can help autistic children improve emotional regulation and social engagement.
- Researchers at Purdue and the University of Arizona found that animal-assisted activities lead to more eye contact, smiles, and communication attempts.
- Parents often report reduced anxiety, better sleep, and more relaxed family dynamics after spending time around animals.
(note: Hello Paradise is not a medical treatment program.
We offer a safe, nurturing environment for natural connection and joy.)
The Experience
"Gentle Animals, Genuine Connection"
At Hello Paradise, every experience is designed to soothe, connect, and delight.
- Donkey & Pony Intersactions – children can brush, feed, or gently ride our calm mini-donkeys and ponies.
- Horse Bonding Time – learn to groom, lead, and cimmunocate with our kind horses.
- Goat & Duck Encounters – peaceful, curious friends that bring laughter and calm.
- Firepit Evenings – storytelling, s’mores, and sensory-friendly connection by the firelight.
- Cowboy Pool & Nature Trails – cool water, soft breezes, and space to breathe under the ancient oaks.
Most kids cry when they have to leave the farm - not because they're sad, but because they've finally found a place they feel understood.
