Mimms's 15 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Angier

15 acres

Hidden River Farm is a 40 plus acre paradise for humans and dogs. We opened our organic orchard 6 years ago and it operates annually from June to October. So we have decided to try to open it up for use year around if possible. We welcome folks to bring their dogs out to run, retrieve, train or just play for awhile to get the energy out. There is an abundance of land. We offer a picnic area with table and chairs. Both tables offer umbrellas for shade if needed. We have water spigots so that the dogs can have clean drinking water. We also are breeders of Champion Labrador Retrievers. We have chickens, ducks, donkeys, horse and more. We are a working farm that believes sharing is a great thing these days.

Play Here. Save Lives. CharlieMike.Org Dog Park.

SAVE A DOG. SAVE A VETERAN! We're a non-profit foundation on a mission to support Veterans dealing with the invisible scars of combat. One awesome program we've got going is the Battle Buddy initiative. We rescue dogs from shelters, give them some serious TLC, train them up, and then match them with Veterans who could use a furry friend to help with PTSD or tough times. When you make a purchase, 100% of it goes straight into funding this heartwarming program, where we get to save not just one, but two lives – a dog's and a Veteran's. So, by choosing us, you're not just saving a dog; you're making a real difference in a Veteran's life. How cool is that?
