About the farm
Star Gazing Farm is a small farm animal sanctuary that provides safe haven for abused, stray, and neglected farm animals. We have a strong educational work-based program for young people and work with many pre-veterinary students.
The farm also helps facilitate farm animal adoptions through our farmers' online rescue network that coordinates with with multiple animal control agencies, small farms and other animal sanctuaries to help find safe and loving homes.
