FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find answers to some of the questions you may have regarding The Farmette Sanctuary here. We’ve addressed some of the most common ones below, but if something isn’t clear feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to assist you in any way possible.

IS YOUR ORGANIZATION TRANSPARENT?

The Farmette Sanctuary, Inc is incorporated as a non-profit in CT and has tax-exempt, 501c3 public charity status. We publish annual reports, which can be found on our website. We are currently in the process of building a Board of Directors and creating our by-laws. If you are interested in serving as a founding board member, please reach out to learn more.

HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE CAUSE?

100% of donations are used to support current and future farm animals at our sanctuary, and the healing of folks looking to connect more deeply with themselves. We have daily needs such as bedding, food, treats, etc. We also have medical costs as our Cornish hens are bred in a way that leads to many health issues, and our large animals need annual vaccines and check ups. Additionally, we have to maintain a very predator-safe environment for our residents, ensuring their life will not end prematurely. Eventually, we plan to renovate the third floor of the barn for healing-focused retreats.

ARE YOU WELCOMING NEW ANIMAL RESIDENTS AT THIS TIME?

We are not currently accepting any chicken residents unless they are Cornish Cross chickens. We are unable to welcome cows, full-size horses, or rabbits. We will consider all other requests on a case-by-case scenario and we are happy to share about other sanctuaries if we are not a good fit.
