A Different Kind of Farm

Halloween may be over, but we've still got pumpkin fever! 🎃 If you're local, consider donating your leftover pumpkins to the animals! Pumpkins are one of the few food everyone agrees on 🐖🐓🐑👍 and they last for weeks, so we always love this time of year! Drop off your unpainted, uncarved pumpkins(s) any time in front of the barn. If you want to throw one into the pasture, the goats'll never tell. 😉

One of our favorite things about the farm is how much our different residents get along. There is way more drama between two goats or two turkeys than across species. We keep safety first in mind, but it's wonderful to see who enjoys being with who, as well as the mutualistic behaviors that develop. Here, Zara supervises Blaze and Bolt at dinnertime. 🐐🐐🐔

Meet the Ducks: Lady & Gent Lady and Gent came to City Goat Farm from just down the road in Charlton after looking for a home for months. They fit in right away, though prefer each other's company to anyone else! This summer, Lady began limping. Despite getting X-rays, it's unclear what is wrong. We've provided pain medication and she moved in with the hens (and away from Gent) to rest and recover. She's slowly getting her mobility back, eating more, and has been able to enjoy going outside and short visits with Gent. We'll continue to monitor her progress and hope to install a permanent pond for these two in 2025.

Hi, it's Megan. And Scooby, and Betty. 👋 Some days there is so much to do that it's hard to do much of anything. It's easy to look around and see everything that's messy, broken, or impossible. I'm grateful for the quiet moments we can share that remind me of what's important.

We are well aware that we owe you a turkey update! Good news is we've been too busy working hard in this beautiful weather to put together cute reels..😪 What are their names? How many are hens and how many are toms? Who are they friends with? Are they still lil cuddle buddies? These updates and more soon, we promise! #turkeylove #farmsanctuary #friendsnotfood

Welles was very excited to get a surprise donation of food and treats this week! 🐽 If you want to send the residents a gift, check out our Chewy.com wishlist (🔗 in profile).
