Our Story

Story Book Farm was founded in 2000. We became a registered charity in 2011. The original founders left in 2015, and since then the Sanctuary has been run by its Board of Directors.

In 2020, we built a second building to house additional monkeys who needed a home. The new building includes a medical facility, so our vets can care for the residents on site.  We have called it "George's Haven" after a long-time former resident.

Until recently, we relied 100% on volunteers to care for our residents. In 2021, we hired our first full-time employee and now also have some part-time employees, to ensure there is always someone available for the monkeys and lemurs.
