Our Services

Provide Sanctuary to Farm Animals

We take in abused, neglected, unwanted, or otherwise displaced farm animals. They will live out their natural lives at the Sanctuary, well-fed & cared for.

Farm Sanctuary Tours

We happily provide tours by appointment of the 100 acre farm where the Sanctuary is located. 

Educational Presentations

An important part of our sanctuary is education on the benefits of a plant-based diet & cruelty free lifestyle.

Animal Assisted Therapy

We have an informal animal therapy program and are willing to coordinate with your therapist to arrange sessions. We hope to expand this in the near future.
