About Us!


J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary located in Saxonburg, PA.

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate farm animals. We provide a lifelong home to each of our adopted creatures, full of love, compassion and environmental enrichment. From tiny bantam chickens to giant draft horses, over 100 amazing animals are currently living their best lives here at the Sanctuary.

Please note we are not an animal shelter. We're a farm animal sanctuary. We don't currently have the resources to take in surrendered cats, dogs, other domestic pets or wildlife. Thanks!

How to Help!


Donate

Caring for over 100 animals isn't cheap. From ensuring everyone receives proper nutrition, medical care and daily enrichment to maintaining fencing and other infrastructure around the farm, the bills add up. We're a small organization with no paid staff, so you can be sure 100% of your donation goes directly back to our mission. No amount is ever too small.

DONATE

Volunteer

We're always in need of volunteers! Whether it's an ongoing commitment or just a few hours one afternoon, all help is very much appreciated. We have plenty of volunteer opportunities to fit in anyone's wheelhouse. If you're interested in helping out at the farm, please feel free to email us at volunteer@jandjfarmsanimalsanctuary.org or send a message to our Facebook page for a faster response.

21+ Paint 'n' Sip Workshop

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 7:00pm - 9:00pm

wine bottle incense burners

We've done so many fun craft night fundraisers this summer, it's hard to keep track! Several people had mentioned they were sad to miss out on one workshop or another, so we decided to try something a little different. We're combining several of our previous craft night activities in one exciting, paint-filled evening!

We'll have wine bottle incense burners, decorative wine glasses and mandala-inspired ladybug rocks here for you to choose from. If those don't suit your fancy, feel free to bring your own item from home. Maybe you've been dying to paint your old glassware. Perhaps a cool looking votive jar you just can't bring yourself to throw away is begging for a few creative brush strokes. Whatever you decide, we welcome you to grab your favorite adult beverage and hang with us and the animals at the Sanctuary for a few hours.

There is no set fee for this class, however all donations are appreciated! This is a 21+ BYOB event. Please feel free to bring snacks along, too!

RSVPs are appreciated ahead of time. Please message our Facebook page or email us at info@jandjfarmsanimalsanctuary.org to secure your spot.

Thanks!

You won’t just be watching the drama unfold, but will instead be in the thick of it as you come dressed as 1 of 25 character options and attempt to solve the mystery while keeping secrets of your own safely guarded.

All proceeds benefit J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Make this the best date night yet, a fun night with friends, or a family game night. This is a 21+ event. Cash bar and mini games available for the duration of the event. J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary merchandise will also be available.

Synopsis

It is time for the Great Lord Hatsby's annual Skull Manor Costume Ball! Lord Hatsby's manor is an old estate in the heart of Spider City known for its captivating architecture, mysterious ambiance, and unspeakable history. The townspeople have been scurrying about the streets to get ready for the wonderful night of great food, inspiring conversations, and outrageous gossip.

This has been a daunting year of dissension and discord among many of the residents of Spider City. Rumors of scandalous controversies, such as blackmail and thievery, have been circulating throughout the town’s grapevines. We all hope everybody can put aside their differences for a night of fun. If not, misfortune might be on the horizon.

Reserve your ticket now, select from a list of 25 characters to come as, and solve the murder at the infamous Skull Manor. Tickets available through Zeffy.

There is an optional ticket fee. To avoid it, select "other" when asked to add a contribution to Zeffy at the checkout page.
