A Different Kind of Farm

Morning mood ⛅

Today we said goodbye to Patty, one of our beloved turkeys. She was our friend. Turkeys like Patty are bred to grow impossibly fast, and their bodies often fail them long before their spirits do. In her final days, Patty was surrounded by the things she loved most — her sisters, apples, the warmth of the sun, and the people who cared for her. She left this world loved. On Thanksgiving Day alone, 46 million turkeys will be eaten in the U.S. We can’t save them all. But we can make sure that every animal who comes to City Goat Farm knows comfort, love, and dignity. Patty’s life mattered. Every life matters.

In which Blaze proves he is capable of sharing (just not with his brother)

Big smiles, curious questions, and lots of new friends 🐐🐑🐓 Last week we hosted our very first kids’ educational programs at City Goat Farm! From feeding and meeting the animals to hands-on crafts and learning about their stories, it was a day full of compassion, connection, and fun. 💚 Thanks to everyone for coming and to our intern, Catalina, for leading these programs! We can’t wait to welcome more young learners to the farm soon! 🌱✨

Meet the Goats: Brie 🐐 Brie came to City Goat Farm with her family after being rescued from neglect in Poughkeepsie, NY. Malnourished and in poor condition when discovered, the group has since recovered and settled into life at the sanctuary. Brie is Bianca’s daughter and Hildy’s mom, making her part of a multigenerational goat family, all living here together. 💕 Goats are intelligent, sensitive animals with strong family bonds. Brie is a cautious observer, preferring to assess a situation before diving in. Living alongside her daughter and the rest of their family, Brie demonstrates the importance of keeping families together when possible. For someone like Brie, she needs the security of those bonds to let her personality shine through. ☀️ Fav Snack: carrots Personality: cautious Special Trait: can do tricks #goatrescue #goatfamily #farmanimalsanctuary
