Phoenix Ranch Activities

In support of CETA Foundation's mission,  Phoenix Ranch is offering several programs by appointment.  Participants are encouraged to bring their curiosity, grubby clothes and shoes, and cameras.  Donations help cover operational costs.

Meet the extensive animal family of African parrots,  miniature and "big" horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, sheep,   Learn how we teach them to peacefully co-exist, how we keep them healthy and happy. If we feel the animals are in the right mood, you will be able to handle, feed, and play with them.  Be prepared to smile!

Tour of Phoenix Ranch:  60-90 minutes depending on attention span of participants (children in backpacks and strollers not included in head count if they stay "underwraps" during tour.)  A great outing for families, school & youth groups, home-schoolers and animal lovers of all ages!

Large groups up to 30 people $150 donation

Small groups up to 10 people $50 donation

Interactive Tour: Two hour visits for  up to  10 visitors.  This additional time allows more handling of animals and individual attention to participants.     Donation: $15/person . $50 min 
 

Picnic/Birthday Parties:  Bring your  friends and refreshments to Phoenix Ranch and enjoy the view of the Coast Ranges & Mount Diablo from our favorite “barn.”  Take pictures and play with many of the animals.  Ranch tour included.  2 hours  $200 donation.  With pony rides  $300
 

Ranch Tag-along:  Spend a morning, afternoon or whole day with the ranch staff as they feed and care for the animals.  Participants will be allowed to assist as much as we feel it is safe.  You will learn a ton about animal husbandry, behavior and communication with one-on-one instruction as we go through our chores.  Participants who want to pitch in with ranch projects and grunt work  are welcome to stay a little longer!  We might have you groom & exercise the horses, play with the baby birds, help with irrigation and pasture management, fix fences, buck hay...
Donation: $20 per participant for 3-4 hour session.

The CETA Animal Experience: Lessons on animal care and handling in a more structured format.  Appropriate for animal-assisted therapy, dealing with animal phobias, or just plain learning. see "Interactive Learning---The CETA Animal Experience"
