Purpose Farm

Purpose Farm Rescued Animals, Rescuing Youth! In 2008 Erin Maxwell, an 11 year old girl, was found to be neglected by her father and stepmother. In Aug. By the end of Aug.

She was also abused and then strangled to death by her adult stepbrother. It was then that I knew that I could no longer sit around and keep hearing the end result of abused and neglected children, but that I had to do something to try to help and save these children. I cried out loud to God to tell me what to do and he answered. Our family had went on a missions trip to Romania in March of 2008.

We would always pass by a horse farm on the way to the orphanages. I thought that would be great if they could hook the horse farm up with the children in the orphanages to give them a sense of a purpose, a hope and show them that there is a different way of life and people that love them. Well God said, "Why can't you do your horse farm idea here in the US?" So I shared my idea with my husband and our children. of 2009 we found the perfect property . we had obtained the property and started renovating it. By July 2010 it was renovated enough for us to move in. There is still a lot of renovating to be done, but that will come with time. We pair youth ages 6-18 who have emotional trauma from neglect, abuse, and or being bullied and youth who have trouble adapting socially, with animals that have been rescued from similar circumstances. Through contact of our animal mentors & human mentors we want to give the children hope, love, joy, confidence and show them that they were made on purpose for a purpose! We are primarily a horse farm with other animals such as alpacas, goats, a variety of birds, pigs, a donkey and more! We currently care for 39 rescued farm and exotic animals. Find your purpose in helping us give these children and animals a purpose, by financial support, volunteering, and praying for our program!

Please Keep Raven Seabrook and the Espinoza Family in Your Prayers

It is with heavy hearts that we share an update about Raven Seabrook, a beloved founding family member of Purpose Farm. Many of you know Raven from her dedication to Purpose Farm. From mentoring youth, running Goat Yoga, building the farm and most importantly her dedication to finding and caring for the animals at the farm.

Raven, who moved to Altadena, California, two years ago with her fiancé Dr. Alfred Espinoza, is now battling yet another tragic fire. For over 24 hours, they have been fighting to save their home, running on no sleep. Thankfully, they were able to evacuate their cats and dogs to safety.

While they’ve worked tirelessly to hose down their home and clear trees to protect it, the situation is devastating. Homes across the street from theirs have not been so fortunate.

The attached pictures show the view from their front yard, earlier today and this evening, looking across the street.

Please join us in praying for Raven, the Espinoza family, and everyone impacted by the California fires. This is a heartbreaking situation. 🙏 Prayers and support mean the world right now. 🙏

🌲🐾 Wreath Pick-Up Day Looked a Little Different This Year! 🐾🌲

This year, we made a slight change for the safety of our animals on strict diets. While we couldn’t offer food to feed them, we created an even more special experience! Visitors had the chance to step into the pasture to pet and hug our sweet donkeys. And, of course, Morocco the camel made sure to stay close by so he wouldn’t miss a single visitor. 🐪❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support Purpose Farm during wreath pick-up! Your kindness and support mean the world to us and our animals. 🐾

We hope the hugs and snuggles warmed your hearts as much as they did ours! 💕

Our Story

Purpose Farm pairs youth ages 6-18 in life crisis with farm, exotic and domestic animals that have been rescued from similar circumstances.Through contact of our animal mentors & human mentors, the youth gain a purpose, experience genuine love, hope is restored while building confidence and gaining empathy towards humans and animals. All services are FREE of charge.

History of the Farm: In 2008 Erin Maxwell, an 11 year old girl, from Palermo, NY, was found to be neglected by her father and stepmother. She was also abused and strangled to death by her adult stepbrother. It was then that Founder Sandra Seabrook knew she could no longer sit around hearing the end result of abused and neglected children, but had to do something to try and save these children. She cried out loud to God to tell her what to do and he answered.

The Seabrook family went on a missions trip to Romania in March of 2008. They would always pass by a horse farm on the way to the orphanages. Sandra thought wouldn't it be great if they could hook the horse farm up with the children in the orphanages to give them a sense of a purpose, a hope and show them that there is a different way of life and people that love them. Well God said, "Why can't you do your horse farm idea here in the US?" Sandra shared her idea with her husband and our children and Purpose Farm was born.

Join us in seeking the children, showing them love and letting them know they too have a purpose!
