Happy Release Day!!!
Last week,the long awaited happy day of turning our sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, and mini donkeys loose in their big field arrived! This was another really important milestone for us here at The Barnyard Sanctuary’s new 170 acre farm in Hope, NJ!
We have been so blessed and it has only been made possible by the generosity of all of our supporters. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚
We love our resident turkeys! They are majestic and beautiful. They were here before we arrived at our new 170 acre farm and we are happy to share it with them.
Zeus feels the same way we do about cold water! I had just chopped out all of the ice and was getting ready to fill it, when he came for a drink. His expression says it all! We have all the water lines and electric lines in for automatic heated water, but are awaiting a grant for the waterers and their installation.
Snack rumors!!!
False alarm!
If you listen very very closely, you can hear the noise that alpacas make when they’re softly talking to each other or asking you a question.
Another big day at The Barnyard Sanctuary! Our last eight goats just came to the new farm. Yahoo!
Sadly, they’re going to need to use this horse trailer temporarily as their house, as seven of our Sheds did not make the transition due to age and condition. We have a fundraiser going to replace them all for $45,000.
The only way one should see a turkey. Free, running with their friends and singing. @as soon as I turned my camera off and turned in my driveway, I found the other half of the flock (over 50) waiting for me.
I love our little slice of heaven here at The Barnyard Sanctuary’s new farm! 💚💚💚
After 3 months of drought, yesterday it rained all day and today it’s snowing. All in mid November!
We are launching a new fundraiser as we urgently need at least 7 new sheds for the cows, pot bellies and sheep/goat sections. All of our existing sheds did not make it to our new 170 acre farm after sitting on the ground 12 years at our old farm. Winter is around the corner!! Please donate now at barnyardsanctuary.org!! Some incredibly beautiful signed prints will be donated to randomly chosen donors. More info to come.

These pros are so calm and making the delivery, and I was worried about them sliding all over the place lol. Check this out!
Emu shed delivery!!! Our 3 emus will be in here today!
We are still $35,000 short to pay for the fencing that they just completed 100% by the end of the month. please help by donating at barnyardsanctuary.org. We urgently need your help as we are funded solely by donations right now. When we open up in the spring for the season, you can all come out and see how beautiful it came out.
