The Animals Are Buying the Farm: Help Us Secure SASHA Farm's Future

Dear Friends of SASHA Farm,

For decades, SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary has been a beacon of hope for thousands of abused, neglected, and unwanted farm animals. Our sanctuary has provided a safe haven, rehabilitation, and a chance at a new life for these deserving creatures. However, we need your help to secure the future of SASHA Farm. Up to this point, our sanctuary has operated on privately owned land.

Our Mission Continues

Now, SASHA Farm is embarking on a capital campaign to purchase the very land that has nurtured so many lives. Owning our land ensures our vital work continues for years to come and provides long-term stability and for SASHA Farm. SASHA Farm is evolving to support the next generation of animal advocates and to continue a legacy where animals are valued and protected.

After 42 Memorable Years, a New Chapter Begins: Monte Jackson’s Retirement Announcement

The time has come for me to retire and step down from the board. I will be leaving the place I love, which I have called home for 42 years, along with the animals I deeply care for, to the trust of others. Donors have given SASHA Farm an opportunity to fulfill a long-held goal of mine: to have the animals themselves own the farm, rather than it remaining privately owned. If the donors are successful in raising the necessary funds in time, Sept 18th will be the last day I stand on the farm grounds as its owner. The new owners will be the animals residing in the pastures, pens, coops, barns, and fields. The high standard of care will remain in place as both new and familiar faces take on the incredible responsibility of not just providing basic care, but also truly loving the animals. It is my hope and dream that SASHA Farm will continue its legacy of compassionate care for generations to come, serving as a sanctuary for lost, abused, and neglected beings.

Sincerely,

Monte Jackson

Founded in 2001

Showing farmed animals care and compassion for over 20 years

Dorothy Davies and Monte Jackson started rescuing animals in the 1980s. It was a small venture at first. However, once they started bringing in more farmed animals in need of care, they realized they would need assistance with the day-to-day management of the farm. Therefore, they started a nonprofit known as SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary (Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals). Over the years, SASHA Farm has saved thousands upon thousands of animals that were abused, neglected, and unwanted.

Our History

Our passion is for animal rights.

The foundation of SASHA Farm started with a strong vision and mission. Our purpose is to help create a more compassionate and kind world, while educating others on the reality of the unnecessary oppression animals face, specifically those born into factory farming. By helping others make connections with the rescues at SASHA, we are aiding in promoting a plant-based diet and supporting better world.

SASHA Farm’s Community

Community is what keeps us going.

Our staff and volunteers are dedicated to improving the lives of animals. Whether it’s by physically caring for the animals, or cleaning barns and pastures, the SASHA family is making our community a better place. We’ve created a wonderful following over the past 20 years and we hope to continue growing. There is a reason why everyone calls this their “Happy Place” when they visit. Come see for yourself!

We can’t help every animal, but everyone can help someone
