(1)

Unity Farm Sanctuary founders Dr. John Halamka and Kathy Halamka created Unity Farm Sanctuary in late 2016. The mission of Unity Farm Sanctuary is to provide a safe and loving lifelong home for farm animals, to offer the public unique educational programs, and to promote a culture of kindness, compassion and connection. Residents here include alpaca, llama, horses, ponies, miniature horses, sheep,

cows, goats, pigs and a vast array of feathered friends. We network with the community and other organizations to help as many farm animals as possible find loving lifelong homes. By working together with the community on topics such as farm animal care, sustainable organic farming practices, the power of kindness, and volunteerism, we hope to extend our impact for positive change for animals and people alike. To further this end, we host Sanctuary Tours, educational workshops for all ages, wellness and creativity retreats, and are particularly proud of a variety of internship and volunteer opportunities for adults, and students as young as 10 accompanied by a parent. The Sanctuary is located minutes away from the Mass Pike in Natick, yet it is worlds away from urban life in bucolic wooded Sherborn MA. The animal living areas are not open to the public except during our Public Tours, but visitors are encouraged to walk the trails here that connect with the Bay Circuit Trail and are open in daylight hours. We hope you visit our “Meet The Animals” section of our website to learn more! https://www.unityfarmsanctuary.org/animals

I wanted to light a candle for a beloved supporter of the Sanctuary tonight. I just found out that Katherine "Kathy" O'Malley, 68, of Newton, passed at her home after a long illness on February 4. I had not discovered this until a donation in her memory came in today. She rescued and loved her cats 🐱, supported Hamish and was always ready to send a cheerful and supportive emails to chat with me. Our love goes out to her family.
May her memory be a blessing 🙏

🐄 Betcha would NEVER guess looking at this sweet Holstein bovine face that Bob Crockett the Steer is a svelte 6'1" tall?! He is indeed! (and he is a sweetie too) Bob will be 6 years old next month
Have you ever met a boy calf saved from the dairy industry in person?
In the photos, you see him as a baby with Tyler Wehr from our first Calendar shoot, and in another photo yesterday with now shelter manager Tye sitting nearby.
Bob has the quietest gentle moo. He knows he is loved. 💟
Be My Valentine Bob!

Meet Sweetie, our spirited Welsh pony who has brought so much joy and laughter to those who know her! After 20 years as a lesson pony, Sweetie retired here at Unity Farm Sanctuary to enjoy a well-deserved rest. Known for her playful spirit, she was famous for trotting students around the ring and then stopping suddenly—letting her riders fly forward with some added... “excitement.” Now, Sweetie is happily enjoying her retirement with us. She has Cushings Disease, which we manage with daily medication, making sure she stays comfortable and healthy. Since joining the Sanctuary in 2016, she has become part of our family and has shown us her calm, gentle side. Today, your donation helps Sweetie and our 250+ rescued residents receive the love, care, and medical attention they deserve. Please help Sweetie achieve the amazing match goal - every dollar you give makes TWICE the impact up to $26,000! Be Sweetie's hero today: https://bit.ly/UnityGT24 💚 #MakeADifference #KindnessInAction #CompassionForAll
