Maple Farm Animal Sanctuary is a great new organization in Mendon, MA, that is just getting off the ground. Maple Farm is a former dairy farm that has been converted into a sanctuary for farm animals such as cows, horses, goats, sheep, llamas, chickens, ducks, pigs, in addition to some dogs and other animals. I have had the pleasure to visit the sanctuary on a few occasions, both as a volunteer, and as an attendee at one of their fundraisers. They are always eager to have a helping hand if you are interested in volunteering, and donations at this point are critical to getting everything running smoothly. I am hopeful that the Maple Farm sanctuary will be a large and wonderful resource for those of us in the Boston metro.

Check out their website for lots more information as well as a link to provide a donation. If you live in the area and would be interested in volunteering, feel free to contact Cheryl, through the site, or let me know if you’re in the Cambridge area and would like information on coordinated efforts to volunteer by those in this area.
