Jessica and I take in rescue animals and get them to a point where they can be adopted. We are always looking for organizations or individuals who can help us with resources for this project. Part of that foundation is our farm's petting zoo where we can have functions that have inner city, child crisis, handicapped and special needs' kids out to interact with our animals.
Marley Farms
Shea and Jessica Hillenbrand's first pet, Majerle, a black Schnauzer named in honor of NBA player-turned-coach, Dan Majerle.
Marley Farms was founded in May of 2007 by Shea and Jessica Hillenbrand. Although the facility has been around for 13 years, nearly $500,000 of renovations has taken place since 2007, making it one of the elite equine facilities in the country. The 25-acre farm has 135 stalls for indoor or outdoor boarding, four well-maintained arenas and new pasture turnouts.
There is also a petting zoo that the Hillenbrands make available to local youth groups that includes a variety of animals, including goats, camels, kangaroos, tortoises, llamas, as well as several other rescued animals. Shea and Jessica opened their hearts and farm to include this petting zoo for their non-profit organization, Against All Odds.
“Jessica and I take in rescue animals and get them to a point where they can be adopted,” says Shea. “We are always looking for organizations or individuals who can help up with resources for this project. Part of the foundation is our farm’s petting zoo where we can have several area kids groups visit the farm and interact with the animals.”
In addition, Marley Feed is a full-service store that carries a variety of quality livestock, pet accessories and pet food. The store also has a boutique that offers gifts ranging from Painted Ponies to country décor.
Marley Farms was named after the Hillenbrands' first pet, a black Schnauzer they had named Majerle in honor of NBA player-turned-coach, Dan Majerle.
Marley Farms and Feed Store are located at 26601 S. Val Vista Drive in Gilbert, Arizona.
