Welcome to SASHA Farm

One of the Midwest’s Largest and Oldest Farm Animal Sanctuaries

At SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary (Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals), we open our doors and our hearts to farmed animals who have endured abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We provide lifelong sanctuary, safety, and endless care, giving each individual the chance to experience peace, comfort, and the freedom to be themselves. Through their stories and our outreach, we work to inspire compassion, encourage a shift toward a kinder, plant-based lifestyle, and champion dignity, respect, and justice for every animal.

We envision a world where every animal’s life is valued, their individuality is honored, and their capacity for joy and connection is recognized. SASHA Farm is a place where healing flows both ways: rescued animals rediscover trust and happiness, and in caring for them, people find deeper compassion, purpose, and connection. Together, we strive toward a future free from cruelty and full of hope for animals and the people who love them.

What We Do

Showing Farmed Animals Care and Compassion for Over 30 Years

Our rescue efforts began in the 1980s as a small initiative, but as more farm animals in need of care arrived, we realized we needed more support to manage the farm effectively. This led to the formal establishment of SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary. Over the years, we have rescued thousands of farm animals from abuse, neglect, and abandonment, providing them with a safe and loving home.

Today, SASHA Farm is home to around 200 rescued farm animals, each with a unique story. Some animals were abandoned, while others suffered from neglect or mistreatment. Others were surrendered because of hardship or because they were unwanted. All of them have now found a safe, loving, and permanent home with us.

In 2002, we officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This status ensures that our mission of rescue, protection, and advocacy can continue. Donations are tax-deductible, and every contribution directly supports our residents’ well-being today and in the future.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to provide a sanctuary for animals in need!
