Our Mission

Story Book Farm is a place of safety. We offer freedom from fear. We are a place of healing and recovery from trauma. We believe that all animals have rights; that animals have the right to live free of fear or pain from humans, in any form; and that we can all make a difference, one being at a time. In sanctuary care, we encourage friendships between our residents. We encourage exploration and freedom of choice. We give back the ability to make decisions and control events that affect residents' lives.

As of 2023-05-02, we are home to 25 monkeys and lemurs who have come to us for peace and solace from a variety of backgrounds, some of them with stories difficult even to share, let alone survive.

Won't you join us in our mission?
Donate or volunteer today!

The rewards are immeasurable.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past. We hope you will continue to do so in the future, and spread the word so that our community of supporters continues to grow!

Thank you.” Dr. Jane Goodall
