A little farm with a very full story.
Tree House Farm began publicly in 2018 as Danielle and Rich’s family project: six wooded acres, a growing animal family, and a willingness to let children learn by helping. Rescue, care, camps, riding, celebrations, and community grew together from there.
Animals first. Then a thousand ways to share the work.
In the first Facebook introduction, Danielle wrote about the family selling their home and buying six acres off Perrine Ranch Road. The first animal roll call was already lively: three horses, three donkeys, three goats, chickens, and three dogs.
Riding lessons and trail rides were the first planned paid experiences. At the same time, neighborhood children could arrange to bring healthy treats, help feed, and maybe find a fresh egg. That small, practical invitation still explains the farm better than any polished slogan: come close, pay attention, help where you can, and learn what the animals need today.
Rescue work arrived almost immediately and changed the scale of the responsibility. Horses came through kill-pen interventions and difficult circumstances. Transport, veterinary care, weight gain, training, recovery, placement, and sometimes loss became part of the public story. Public experiences grew around that work as one way to keep the farm moving.
The path from then to now.
Six stops from a family beginning to today’s changing, event-led working farm.
A family farm begins
Danielle and Rich moved their family onto six wooded acres with horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, and dogs. Riding plans and neighborhood feeding visits were part of the idea from the start.
Rescue becomes foundational
Horse transport, veterinary care, patient rehabilitation, fundraising, rehoming, and difficult losses made care—not display—the center of the story.
Private visits and Farm Camp grow
Small outdoor tours and a working-farm camp gave families a way to feed animals, help with chores, ride, learn, and get properly dirty.
More ways into the farm
Farm Camp and Horse Camp became distinct paths while tours, mobile visits, parties, yoga, seasonal events, and special encounters broadened the calendar.
A fuller community farm
Field trips, young-child programs, dog boarding and daycare, weekly access, animal encounters, and a larger community calendar all took shape.
A living, event-led farm
Announced Open Farm days, camps, lessons, trails, parties, groups, mobile visits, special collaborations, dog care, shelter projects, and animal updates now move with the season.
Recent farm notes.
These 2026 updates show the mix of new arrivals, ongoing care, humor, and hard work behind the public experiences.
Gucci & Chanel
When Gucci and Chanel arrived underweight, the first update was not about putting them on display. It was about deworming, grooming, dental and hoof care, better groceries, and watching closely for progress. That is what rescue-rooted looks like in practice.

Daisy
Daisy came to the farm after her longtime person could no longer care for her. The next part of the story included veterinary treatment, help from a generous donor, and the unglamorous work of helping an older pig get comfortable again.

Baylee, Sadie & the dogs
Dogs remain woven through the farm’s daily story. A young Irish Wolfhound named Baylee recently joined the family and met visitors at Open Farm, while Sadie’s two Yorkie puppies became the newest tiny arrivals shared in July.
