 Sheep & Goat Sanctuary

An experience in the mountains of Costa Rica.
Botanical Corner is a working farm and animal refuge where every part of the animal’s life is valued — from milk and wool to the land that sustains them.
Sustainable living, shared with purpose.
Join us to experience regenerative farming, hands-on learning, and a deeper connection to nature.

​​OUR WHY
We created Botanical Corner as a sanctuary where goats and sheep are cared for with respect and purpose — a place where every part of their life is valued, and nothing goes to waste.

​OUR
​VISION:

We dream of a place where animals live with dignity, where nothing is wasted, and where humans
​and nature work together in a cycle of care —
a living example of how mindful stewardship can sustain both land and life.
​OUR
​MISION:
​Our mission is to offer goats and sheep a safe, loving home while showing how their milk, wool, and lives can be honored from start to finish. Volunteers are at the heart of this vision —
joining us in daily care, sustainable farming, and creative projects that bring people closer to nature.
Through shared work and cultural exchange, we hope to inspire a deeper respect for animals, the land,
​and the cycles that sustain us all.
