Just a quick update on our Meeting with the town this Wednesday.
The Town seems to be intent on playing games with us and leeching the money away from our animals.
We received this email yesterday claiming there is an error on our application and therefore the meeting is cancelled and we have to redo a new application and pay all the escrow fees and application fees all over again.
Oh and they get to fine us for being in violation of some ordinance that they can’t either provide us with…..

It’s amazing that the township can’t even read their own tax map.
Our lot is lot 81 and 81 only. There seems to be an internal error on there part because block 882.14 lot 82 does not exist… there is a lot 82.1 but that is the next door neighbor.
I’m not sure what they want from us or why they hate us so much, I wish someone would contact us and let us know. We were really looking forward to working together with the township……. Our lawyer is currently trying to sort this out so we will be updating everyone as soon as we have new information. As of now the meeting may or may not happen.
Feel free to email the mayor, the zoning board or whoever to try and get some answers because we cannot understand their issue.

Side note- we still need hay!! 😭 . $80/bale will help our animals in a big way. Whatever you can donate will be appreciated!

Hello all! The day we’ve all been waiting for!
Our zoning board meeting is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 6:30 PM.
It’s going to be held at the Berkeley Township Building 627 Pinewald Keswick Rd, Bayville, NJ 08721 This is our last effort to try and get the town to approve our farm, so we need as many people as possible to show up and show support for us. We want the township to see that we are wanted and needed here and we will hopefully get an approval this meeting! We want to pack the room with supporters!
Berkeley township , please let’s put this issue to bed and let’s move forward working together to better the town! We are here to stay, and our animals need us, every time we come is costing us and our animals money and resources. Do the right thing!
We are also still halfway to our go fund me goal to pay for all this, please please help support us!

It was such an HONOR to host twenty special needs guests from the Prime Time Center , along with Bayville Elks Special Children Committee Chair and Co-chair Debra and Cheyenne Gamsby. This group got to interact, feed and pet; Alpacas, Emu, goats, donkeys as well as see the cows, chickens and many other animals living at Charlotte Farms.
It was an amazing time and enjoyed by the entire group, including the chaperones.

We are open for private tours and special accommodations can be arranged.

A QUICK RECAP ABOUT CHARLOTTE FARMS.

Charlotte Farms Animal Sanctuary – a place where the animals come first, and their well-being is our top priority. The sanctuary is a haven for abused, neglected, and abandoned farm animals, where they can find refuge, heal from their past traumas, and receive the love and care they deserve.

Charlotte Farms is in a costly fight with the Berkeley Township Zoning Board of Adjustment, which told him he needs a use variance to operate the site. While the property was operated as a farm for decades (and sat vacant for a long time), it resides in a residential zone.

They were told by the board that the sanctuary wasn’t an inherently beneficial use to the town.

Charlotte Farms needs donations. A go fund me has been set up.

It is - https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-charlotte-farms-animal-sanctuary

Charlotte Farms is located at 182 Mill Creek Rd, Bayville NJ

It’s the first of the month! Our animals are in need of a new delivery of hay.
We need 10 bales of hay to get us through the month, @ $80 each.

Please consider donating a bale or even part of one, it would help so much and mean so much to us and our animals.
You can donate via Venmo or PayPal or Zelle to [email protected] or with a credit card on our website www.charlottefarms.org

Thank you!!!🙏

Our sweet and super friendly female dairy cow needs a sponsor!
This sweet female came with the her mama from a small dairy farm that was closing down and they couldn’t afford to care for them. We took them both in and gave them a safe loving home.
This sweet girl was tied to her enclosure day and night and was milked twice a day alternating the light to mimic day and night…. One of her ears is permanently sticking upwards due to one of the ropes being tied around her ear and head in her captivity.
We think she is gorgeous and super cute and she has come such a long way! She will gladly eat from your hand and give you hugs and (very sticky) kisses ❤️
You also get to name her!
Please message or email us to sponsor her, it would mean the world to her and to us!
💙Thank You!💙

If you notice that Mill Creek looks alot cleaner and is flowing once again… this is why. After months of hard work cleaning up this river that runs through our property, we had this one blue piece of plastic that wouldn’t budge and was blocking the flow in addition to decomposing and releasing all sorts of chemicals and methane into the river. Yesterday Paula MP and her husband John came down and after hours of backbreaking work we were finally able to extract this 25 foot pool liner (in addition to a few garbage bags full of beer cans and bottle) from the river. We were shocked and how big it was and how bad the pollution was that something this large could have made it into the river. This pool liner has been disposed of properly and will never see the river ever again!
This is what we do here at , in addition to saving animals and giving them a loving safe home. We also educate and clean up our environment so the resident of Bayville and beyond can enjoy a clean safe water source for years to come!

Live footage of last night’s “raging fire”

Live footage of last night’s “raging fire”…. There was no fire when 4 fire trucks, 2 fire chiefs , 3 police officers and a township inspector arrived. We appreciate the prompt response but this was a hoax. What a waste of resources, and all as an excuse to come look around the property and give us more tickets…..😔 why Berkeley Township, why do you hate us saving animals so much?
