    Had such a great time visiting with and feeding the horses! This is a great activity to do with family and friends (and especially kids!) on a beautiful Florida day. Bring lots of treats! The horses love carrots, apples and bananas.

    I found this farm by a social media group that recommended it and I was super happy to find it! It was nice to see these horses and walk around the property! I highly recommend you to bring water, a backpack or wagon, and some good walking shoes. This property is massive and while some spots are shady, some spots are not. So sunscreen and an umbrella might be a good idea. The farm is well maintained and the pastures are kept clean. All of the staff is super friendly and are full of fun facts about the horses and property. Some areas of the walking are a steep incline. There are benches located around the walking path which is great for when you need a breather. The horses love snacks but some can't have carrots and some can't be fed at all. So be sure to check the pasture fencing for feeding signs. The horses also love apples and bananas! If you forget to grab some snacks for the horses you can get a bag of carrots at the farm for $6. They take cash, card, and Venmo! The road in is a little rough and there is a small dirt path you will travel through but I saw all kinds of cars get here and get out with no problem. My family will definitely be back and be better prepared for the next trip lol

    Such an amazing experience. There's so many acres to roam and on a day with good weather you can stay the entire time they are open Saturdays. The staff is so friendly and they have such a great system of taking care of the horses and visitors. Don't forget to bring apples or carrots to feed the horses. Fun activity for those of all ages and worth the drive.

    The kids and I love this place soooo much since discovering it. We had to come back on the way to the Gators stadium and stop bye and see the horses. It is well worth the hour and half drive on a Saturday to spend time with the kids!!!!Again they made us feel welcome and the nice older gentleman remembered us from the first visit ( I have to asked for his name again next time). Definitely will be coming back soon

    The retirement home for horses at Mill Creek Farm is a hidden jewel near Gainesville. It is a nonprofit, so entrance is free and you can feed the horses with carrots or fruits if you give a donation. It is a massive operation with around 300 acres and 100+ horses, although the workers drive around in golf carts if you need a ride. I definitely recommend it for anyone that likes the outdoors or animals.

    Highly suggest this place for a nice, free, leg stretching, family day or date! You can buy carrots there or bring your own. Not sure in price there, I stopped at Aldi's. Go at your pace.

    Such sweet beautiful horses!

    Went to Mill Farm with my family this weekend, and we had a wonderful time! It is absolutely gorgeous!! There are 50 pastures with 2-7 horses in each one depending on the size. The horses are all very friendly, and eager to eat some carrots! The staff who own the farm are absolutely delightful! They have a little shop at the front where you can buy calendars and little trinkets, and a donation jar. The farm is free to get into- the only admission requirement? Carrots! When you first arrive get a map and decide how long you would like to spend at the farm, we walked to whole thing and spent about 2 and a half hours. There are shorter loops that take only 15 minutes. I would also suggest bringing a lot of carrots. The horses get more and more friendly the more carrots you feed them and the longer you hang out. If you have the time, walk the whole farm, there are a lot of horses in the back that don't get as much attention as those first few pastures. Just be aware, some of the horses were mistreated and are therefore not as pretty to the eye- some have growths, are emaciated, or are missing an eye. Some of the horses are also a tad skittish, so be gentle :) Definitely bring some water or be prepared to buy some, wear bug spray and take photos. Such a fun day!!

    Beautiful setting

    Love this place!!! There should be more places like this where animals are treated with love and respect. The places is huge, so be ready to walk. Visiting day is Saturday for a few hours. There are a lot of beautiful retired horses, some with very sad stories, that are waiting there for love and most importantly carrots!!!!

    My Mom Nephew and I spent about 2.5 hours here yesterday. We brought 10lbs carrots, 1 bag of apples and 6 bananas and left empty handed. We saw and fed a majority of the horses. We will definitely go back. I'm only sorry that I'm 3 hours away, otherwise I would try to volunteer.

    Saturday morning feeds and getting chased big the piggies. I mean horses!

    I have fallen in love with horses, we had our very own horse who had to be euthanized after breaking out of a barn and breaking her back. I volunteer at Mill Creek every Saturday. I now have 126 horse 2 cats 3 dogs as my new pets! The horses and donkeys are groomed weekly. They are fed three times a day and we take in to consideration speci diets. We have a huge team of professionals who come out on a regular basis for check ups to make sure the horses are healthy. Each horse is placed on a pasture that is safe for them where they can socialize with other horses with the same personality. I look forward to every Saturday I am there. The volunteers the guests and of course the animals on the farm have become my family. Coming here is a step away from realty, guaranteed to better your mood by just being there. We support all the guests that come and most of all we support and love all the volunteers! Some horses you'll fall in love with and some horses will fall in love with you and will take a liking to you. It's the most fulfilling relationship you can have. They are intelligent animals and every horse has a different personality and of course a different story.

    We found our keeper!…read more I had heard about Katz 4 Keeps many times over the last few years; and through his job my husband had helped Mary (the owner) several times but we had never actually visited the facility. While we had been thinking about bringing home a new family member for some time, when we were finally ready this was one of the first places we looked. The facility is impressive. There are different rooms (divided by age) for kittens, young cats and adults. They have an isolation area for new cats and for when any of their current 'residents' get sick. For as many 'boarders' as they have it is surprisingly clean. All I can say is Mary is the epitome of a cat lady, but not the crazy kind. She loves what she's doing and she loves every single feline friend. If you're considering adopting a cat (of any age) please definitely put these ladies on your list. The program they've established is quite impressive and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

    All rescues should follow Katz 4 Keeps philosophy. A rescue cat has the Ritz Carlton service from…read moreKatz 4 Keeps-(living quarters and premium medical care). Every cat/kitten is taken to a Veterinarian; Katz 4 Keeps doesn't mess around with the cat's health. The facility is hospital quality clean with separate quarantine rooms for new and ill cats. The volunteers and fosters are top notch quality. Katz 4 Keeps is on the A list! http://pictures-of-cats.org/how-many-animal-shelters-have-quarantine-rooms.html#comment-557669 (an example of a quarantine room)
