My journey started as a childhood dream, but it took an unexpected direction. The influence of Violet and her cows changed my perspective, and in 2015, I embraced veganism. This led to a drastic change: selling the daycare to open an animal sanctuary.
The beginnings were difficult, with no experience with farm animals or sanctuary. There were many challenges, including lack of time, support, and money. The hardest thing is having to say no.
Running a farm animal sanctuary is different from pet or wildlife shelters. Our mission aims to raise awareness and save lives. A calf has as much right to its life as your dog.
Our vision is to help more animals and remind everyone: be careful what you wish for. Every experience, every challenge, every difficult moment has shaped our journey and our mission.
But every resident has their story and reminds us why we do what we do, why we continue to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
