By strenghtening the voices of family farmers, Farm Aid stands up for the most resourceful, heroic Americans—the family farmers who work the land. When you eat food grown by family farmers, you know what you’re getting - honest, real food grown by people who care about their land, their community, and their future.

We have many animals available for adoption, including cats and kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs. We have recently been privileged in purchasing a woodland close to the sanctuary, which we are using as a wildlife rehab and release area, as well as offering protection to the animals who share this woodland with us.
