Florida Rescue Farm

Good food, full bellies, and grateful hearts!💚

We are incredibly honored to announce that Florida Rescue Farm has been awarded a $15,000 Nutrition & Food Security Grant from the Bishop-Parker Foundation! As a repeat supporter of our mission, their incredible trust and partnership mean the world to us, and to every single animal who calls this sanctuary home.

This critical grant provides the baseline foundation for our residents, ensuring that our feed storage stays full and our senior and rescue animals get the exact daily nutrition they need to thrive.

✨ The Power of Partnership: ✨ When an institutional funder like the Bishop-Parker Foundation secures our baseline nutrition, it allows our community of individual donors to make an immediate, life-saving impact elsewhere. Because our daily feed costs are covered, every dollar you donate today goes directly toward:

🩺 Emergency and routine veterinary care & medications

🚧 Pasture fencing and enclosure maintenance to keep our rescues safe

📚 Expanding our community education initiatives and digital resources, paving the way for exciting new programs that connect local students and families with our mission!

It takes a village to build a better Manatee County, and we are so proud to stand alongside the Bishop-Parker Foundation and all of you. Thank you for keeping our mission growing!

Say hello to Lightning! ⚡️
He’s definitely the "face" of our duo today (don’t tell his brother Thunder I said that). It’s easy to forget how much personality goats have until you spend a little time with them. They form such deep bonds, and seeing Lightning and Thunder together is a daily reminder of why we do what we do.
We love being able to give them the life they deserve right here in Duette.

That look you give when someone tries to tell you what to do, but you’ve already read the literature on freedom. 📖🐔

The residents here at Florida Rescue Farm are keeping their eyes on the horizon because the 2026 Giving Challenge is officially just 3 days away!
We are so grateful for the excitement we’re already seeing from our community. While we’ve had some early birds checking in, we wanted to share a quick reminder of how to make your support go twice as far this week.

🐮 Happy National Farm Animal Day!

Meet Daisy. She’s much more than just a pretty face in the pasture, she’s a reminder of why today matters.

While Daisy has a long and storied history, today isn’t about the past; it’s about the compassion we carry forward. National Farm Animal Day is a reminder to extend our kindness and respect to all creatures, big and small. Every animal has a story, a personality, and a right to live in peace.

“May all that have life be delivered from suffering.”
- Buddha
