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.
(61)

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!

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight! Meet Donny, one of our amazing volunteers!
"My wife started volunteering about 2 years ago. When her car 🚗 was in the shop I had to pick her up a few weeks in a row, I began to look forward to seeing the animals. I started meeting her here every week at the end to help feed snacks from outside the fence. 🥕🍎 I never knew a volunteer opportunity like this existed so close to home! Now I'm a volunteer myself and can't wait to see the animals every week."❤️

🐪Morocco isn't feeling well!💊
He is back on his medicine. Due to his size and his three-chambered stomach, he requires a high dosage for it to be effective. This means his medication costs $500 each round.
Morocco is wondering if anyone would like to sponsor him for his meds. Let's come together and help this tall, handsome boy get back on his feet and feeling well again.

Your generosity can make him get better! Any amount helps!

We need to raise $1575 total for Alice Anne’s emergency care.
Will you donate today to help her?
Alice Anne thanks you in advance. 🐇❤️

🚨 Some BUNNY Needs Your Prayers 🚨
Sweet Alice Anne is very sick and has been admitted to Cornell. She stopped eating, became lethargic, and couldn't go to the bathroom and her kidney and liver values were double the normal. For a rabbit, this is extremely serious and can become deadly within 24 hours. Our local vet couldn't provide the care she needed and advised us to admit her to Cornell ASAP.

Her vet bills are currently totaling $1575.00 between both vets. Please consider donating to help Alice Anne recover. She is on IV meds and fluids, and her bloodwork is showing that her levels are starting to return to normal. The Doctor says she is heading in the right direction.

You can also donate through our website at https://www.purposefarm.org/donate-financially.html.

Please keep Alice Anne in your thoughts and prayers, and donate towards her care. 🙏❤️

Happy Hump Day from CNY’s favorite camel, Morocco at Purpose Farm. ❤️🐪 #purposefarm #humpdaywednesday

The chinchillas nibble and chew, Their mealtime never dull or few. Watching them eat is never a bore, Their tiny mouths always wanting more. Chappy seeks the perfect gogi berry, Pausing only to savor and carry.

Elliot is enjoying cooling down. He even takes a moment to smell the flowers. He’s such a neat horse. #purposefarm #cooling

Site prep has begun for the new 4 stall barn!

Guess what time of year it is! Some horses will shed their coat on their own and others need a little help.

Esther Anne is checking out the river. Goats are usually very afraid of water of any kind. She is being very brave with her best friend Atlas who loves the water. 🐐🦮💦

Morocco's weekend is off to a good start with his new birthday ball. Thank you to everyone!

Purpose Farm Tree

Several trees were destroyed by the fire, and others succumbed to old age or the emerald ash borer. We are thankful for Saw It All Tree Worx for donating his services of cutting down both the smaller and larger trees. It was a tremendous undertaking that he and his wife made appear effortless. He is the man to call if you need a tree removed! #differencemaker #purposefarm #trees #donate

We had some visitors today. A future Eagle Scout dropped his project by. Esther Anne is enjoying part of the project with a new ramp to her highness platform where she stands watch over her kingdom. Stay tuned for part two of the project!

The animals love fall time. Not only does it get cooler for them but they love to munch on the fall leaves. Esther is enjoying an afternoon snack.

Chili the chinchilla sends Sunday night greetings. He's incredibly cute as he munches on a grape, but dried banana chips are his absolute favorite food.

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!
