A Different Kind of Farm

The easiest way to explain it is that we are like an animal shelter, but instead of dogs and cats, we take in traditionally farmed animals. Especially those who have been orphaned, abandoned, neglected, or abused. Cattle, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, and ducks are just some of the species we care for. Whereas rescue organizations have adoption programs to find permanent homes for the animals they help, sanctuaries are that permanent home. Everyone that comes to our farm stays for the rest of their natural life. We provide food, shelter, medical care, enrichment, socialization and most importantly, love. Most farmed animals are viewed as commodities, and treated as such. Here they are members of our 'farmily', and always shown respect and compassion.

Yes and no. In the sense that we are open to the public for visits, and we are a farm where many of the animals love people and enjoy hugs and scratches, yes. But we don't breed animals to have cute babies that draw in attention. We don't close our gates in the Fall and ship our animals off to become food. We have strict guidelines for visitor behaviour, and we are quick to enforce them when needed. The mental, physical and emotional well-being of our residents is our top priority. The animals interact with people by choice; they are not bribed with food or forced to be in close contact with humans, ever.
