Your support makes a difference.

We are a small, donor-funded organization. Every contribution directly supports the animals in our care and strengthens our ability to serve the broader community. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, MMFS advances a welfare-first approach to farm animal care, fostering compassion, equity, and respect for animals, people, and the planet.

Merrymac Farm Sanctuary is a GFAS-Accredited Farm Sanctuary, one of just 35 worldwide. This reflects our commitment to the highest standards of animal care, responsible operations, and organizational transparency. As a teaching sanctuary, we extend those same standards to our humane education programs.
