POSITIVE CHANGE

Joy, hope, kindness and compassion are always at the forefront of our thinking at the Sanctuary.

By working together with the community on topics such as compassionate farmed animal care, sustainable organic land management practices, the direct demonstration power of kindness, and the value of volunteerism, we seek positive changes for animals and people alike. 

 

Unity Farm Sanctuary formally began in December 2016. Residents here include alpaca, llamas, horses, ponies, miniature horses, sheep, cows, goats, pigs and a vast array of feathered friends. We cannot accept every surrender request: so we network with the community and other vegan organizations to help as many farm animals as possible find loving, lifelong homes.

​

Working toward a positive future, we host Kindness and Compassion Sanctuary Tours, humane educational workshops, LEAP Changemakers, LEAP Kids, wellness and creativity retreats, and we are particularly proud of volunteer opportunities for adults of all ages, veterans and active-duty personnel, and students as young as 10-14 accompanied by an adult. Please do not bring any food products derived from animals onto the Sanctuary grounds such as animal meat, eggs, animal cheese, and animal dairy (we also hope you consider the impact of fur, down and leather on the animals and the environment, before purchasing those).

 

The Sanctuary in beautiful wooded Sherborn MA is located minutes from Boston via the Mass Pike exit in Natick, yet it is worlds apart from urban life. Visitors are encouraged to walk our forest trails that connect with the Bay Circuit Trail, and are open dawn to dusk. Click here to download the trail map created by Samara Ebinger.

 

For the safety of both our animal residents and our visitors, the rescues' main living area is closed to drop-in visits, so unscheduled drop-in walking through the animal care zone is not permitted for the safety of both the animals and the visitors (you can become a volunteer or come on a guided tour!)
