Baby Gertie is growing up so fast! She and her best friend Eloise arrived here back in March and it has been pure joy watching these happy, curious girls grow up together!

We are still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude that the judge ruled Olivia and Gladys will stay with us forever. We decided to do some special baking to celebrate! 🧁

Igor came in with a group of turkey chicks back in July, but since he is nearly blind his brothers were starting to bully him. 😢 This is why he has been moved to the indoor area where our other special needs birds live! He’s getting spoiled with lots of love, treats, and enrichment like his bells!

We had a new arrival last week from Mustang Valley Sanctuary, in West Fulton, NY. His name is Billy and he is a darling 5 year old donkey. Look how handsome!

We have the most wonderful news! This is the news we've been hoping desperately for since March: OLIVIA AND GLADYS ARE SAFE! The judge ruled against their former owner in the forfeiture case, so Olivia and Gladys will be safe and fed and warm and loved here at Merrymac for the rest of their lives. ❤️

We love to encourage people to reduce the meat and dairy in their diets, but understand that it can be hard to know where to start, and unfortunately many people are put off by the perceived cost. If you want to try adding more plant-based meals to your life, are some resources to get started! 🧵

Today is World Vegan Day! If you are concerned about climate change, reducing meat and dairy in your diet is one of the most powerful individual actions you can take.

Why I Went Plant-Based (And Why We Should All Eat Less Meat)
Dr. Goodall went plant-based after confronting what that meat represents: pain. Since, she learned more reasons why the work to #eatmeatless is important.

Students from The Mill School enjoyed learning how to groom Pluto today. It was pouring down rain so most of the horses were inside which allowed some the horses time to get nicely groomed by volunteers. These students come weekly to our educational program we offer @merrymacfarmsanctuary

Best friends Shadow and Jar Jar are ALWAYS together! They could not have come from more different circumstances. Jar Jar (on the right) came from a loving home that could no longer care for him. Shadow barely survived a terrible neglect case.
