Danny's Farm Petting Zoo from Los Angeles, CA

In 2007, Danny's Farm was founded by former Los Angeles Dodger Pitcher and current pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Jim Gott and his wife Cathy, in honor of their son Danny, who is diagnosed with Autism. As a child, Danny was drawn to farm animals and out of his continued affinity to them, Danny's Farm was formed. Danny's farm offers a mobile petting zoo for birthday parties and special events. We'll bring our farm animals to you, or come visit us at Cal Poly, Pomona! Our farm offers a safe and nurturing petting farm and social environment for children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our mission is two fold – to provide meaningful employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities and to help them reach their fullest potential by developing special skills through their work and mentoring; and to serve children ages 5-17 years old on the Autistic Spectrum, by providing behavioral and social experiences through an individualized Specialty Autism Program in South Pasadena.
