Our Mission
Is to provide abandoned farm animals with permanent, healthy homes where they can live free of abuse or cruelty, to provide education for the local and broader communities about the well-being of animals, and to promote a culture of equity between animals, people, and the planet.
Help us reach our goal.
Hay, feed, and supplements make up our largest expenses. Please donate today.
“We are so pleased to announce the Accreditation of The Merrymac Farm Sanctuary, the first farmed animal sanctuary to be Accredited in Vermont, and welcome them into the GFAS family. The team at Merrymac has demonstrated diligence and enthusiasm in meeting high standards every step of the way. Their hard work, collaborative spirit, and attention to detail was evident and is a testament to their dedication to the animals. Their service to the community, not only through rescue but also through youth humane education, will create a much brighter future for animals. They have made impressive strides already and we can't wait to see what the future holds." -Jessica Harris, MS, GFAS Farmed Animal Program Director
