Alpine Acres Sanctuary Farm is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal sanctuary spanning 20 acres on Japatul Spur in Alpine, home to nearly 200 rescued domesticated livestock and exotic animals across 29 species and 70 breeds. The resident population includes bison, zebras, camels, llamas, alpacas, tortoises, and a range of barnyard animals, establishing Alpine's Japatul Valley corridor as an animal welfare destination alongside Lions Tigers & Bears on Martin Way. All produce grown on the sanctuary's 20 acres follows chemical-free, biological farming practices, with seasonal fruits and vegetables available at the on-site farm stand. Partnerships with Rady Children's Hospital, Sharp HealthCare, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation extend the sanctuary's therapeutic mission, with animal feed and care supplies sourced through East County providers including Kahoots on Tavern Road. Kids Summer Camps limit enrollment to four participants per day for hands-on animal husbandry sessions that include tortoise feeding, goat walking, pen maintenance, and vegetable harvesting across six themed habitat zones.
