What is a Farm Sanctuary
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.
Are you a Petting Zoo?
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. What sets us apart is that we don't breed animals, we don't close our gates in the Fall, and we educate our visitors about our animals, their unique rescue stories, and how to interact with them. The mental, physical and emotional well-being of our resident animals is our top priority. They interact with people by choice; and are not bribed with food or forced to be in close contact with humans.
