Farm animal sanctuary & activism for a kinder world and all life in it.

So far, since we started uploading our animal vids to YouTube instead of here, pig-ster "Rowdy Ruppert" has emerged as a crowd favorite and rakes in the views by the thousands. You can see him and others here:

Life is Good. Gratitude rocks. Problems are gifts. Faith matters. This channel is a bit of an open diary and collection of my own reflections on things that happen on and off the grounds of Good Acres Sanctuaries. This is not a how-to-channel. But heck, you may just find some inspiration anyway or a...

RIP Simon.
On Friday night we lost our feisty beautiful rooster Simon. He was six years old. On the evening of the same day he was not feeling well but enjoyed being hand fed and watered when he suddenly fell over and passed. Simon was laid to rest alongside our many other sanctuary residents who were called to their eternal home. We sure miss his powerful voice every morning announcing that the gift of a brand new day has been bestowed on us.

Important Announcement for our patrons and donors!
We have downsized our website to a much more simple one due to the rising cost of technology services. Unfortunately, this means all patronships that were once purchased through our old website's credit card processing system are now stopped. If you would still like to have your patronship, please visit our new simple website and reinstate your patronship anew via the paypal button. If you have any questions at all please feel free to call or text at 8595503027. As always all patrons can come and visit the farm along with family and friends without charge. We love our patrons! Sorry for the hazzle of having to re-buy your patronship. See you at the farm to pet some soft noses :)
As always you can find us the web at: http://goodacres.us

(Just in case you're wondering, our new simple website is hosted by adobe express and costs zero bucks, which leaves more cash for our furry residents.)

Bragging isn't good manners but we'll do it anyway. Say what you will but we have the prettiest sets of (v e r y) long ears around 😍

Each time we loose something we gain something else at the same time. Each time one door closes, another one opens at the same time. Such is one of the bittersweet realities of life. When Celina lost her best friend Patrick recently, she became our "only dog". This marked the beginning of a new life phase for her. Instead of being always just on the farm, she got outfitted with a fancy harness and leash and new adventures began. She has since had many outings, is enjoying every second of them, and looks forward to many more. Every end is a potential beginning of something extraordinarily beautiful. The choice is yours.

We are set for a sweet summer at Good Acres. Each one of the hundreds of blossoms on our apple trees are going to turn into an apple! It's one of natures miracles and a delicious one at that. Yumm!

Ordinary moments are often not given much attention. Yet, here the Animal Man was captured doing what he does every single day without fail. He gives every single little goat and sheep a treat in the evening and each in his or her own little black bowl. It is not that they need this food. It is simply his way of reminding them every day how loved they are. Real men are kind to animals - all animals - not only pets.

Otto in the barn. Otto in the sun and mud. What else will this big boy be up to this spring at Good Acres? Eating and sleeping maybe? Probably. Life is busy at the sanctuary 😁

Buenos días Good Acres fans! Just wanted to let you know that getting out early in the morning to seize the day is a semi-good idea even if half your bedding is sticking to your face. Just do it! There are lots of naps to be had in the spring sun and you wouldn't want to miss those, right?

One last fashion statement by Ms. Molly in her adorable (and warm) coat. Molly has arthritis and anything that keeps her warm keeps her more comfortable as well. But with spring springing the horse coats are just about packed up and back in storage for the next brrrr season. Acres

What could be cuter than two donkey girls out and about free roaming the farm? As we all know, the grass is always greener on the other side, and even when you have your own pasture, every so often you just have to visit others.

Who needs a watch dog to guard the house when you can have Rowdy Rupert?!

A Sanctuary for Animals & People

MISSION STATEMENT

GA Sanctuaries dba Good Acres Sanctuaries offers rescued farm animals a safe haven from neglect, abuse and slaughter for the remainder of their natural lifespan. Educational programming and events for the public encourage and inspire people of all ages to transition to a plantbased diet for greater kindness and mercy towards animals, better personal health, and to lessen each person’s environmental footprint. Drawing on the life-affirming presence of the rescued animals the sanctuary offers children and adults with various physical and mental disabilities access to the animals and the peaceful farm to gain temporary respite from life’s hardships. As a nondenominational ministry Good Acres Sanctuaries also provides spiritual counseling for all life situations including grief and loss after the death of an animal companion.

We are however still very much in need of growth in order to allow our services to reach more individuals and families. c.’.

Our most famous farm ambassador ‘Lucky’ a beautiful and gentle red angus steer has become a dominant part of our logo. He proudly represents what Good Acres stands for, to honor all life and the sentient nature of those who routinely find themselves on the very bottom rung of human compassion.

Today the sanctuary is a small slice of heaven for the farm animals who live here for the rest of their natural lifespan as well as the people who come to visit. While compassion towards farm animals is very important to us, so is compassion towards people in need of change and healing. Good Acres specifically reaches out a helping hand to

Children of the Addicted & Incarcerated

Individuals suffering from Depression, Grief/Loss, Chronic Pain and more

There is no need to separate animal from human welfare. At Good Acres we believe kindness is good for the soul and benefits the receiver as well as the giver no matter the species. The many different types of animals who call Good Acres’ home are very gentle and can be approached by children and adults to feel their vibrant positive energy directly. Lightheartedness is another big hallmark of Good Acres. Some of the more comically inclined critters at the farm certainly have an uncanny ability to carry you away on a wave of joy and laughter. What better way could there be to at least temporarily let go of depression and pain.

Good Acres aims at paving a new road by inspiring and educating the public towards more kindness and mercy for farm animals.

We are however still very much in need of growth in order to allow our services to reach more individials and families.

As an individual, you have the opportunity to become a patron. Patronships start at $10.- monthly. An online signup is available at our website at https://GoodAcres.us

As a corporate supporter, you can give to Good Acres aka “GA Sanctuaries” with either product, service, or monetary donations. Please contact us to see how we might best benefit each other.

Thank you for reading about us.

Kindest,
