BLUE ARROW FARM is an INDOOR and OUTDOOR entertainment venue and animal rescue sanctuary featuring live music, private parties, and events all year!

BLUE ARROW FARM is an outdoor entertainment facility located in scenic Orange County, NY. BLUE ARROW FARM will exceed all your entertainment wishes! Enjoy the artistic beauty of BLUE ARROW FARM and mosey through the sunflower mazes and butterfly sanctuary as you marvel at the life-sized dinosaurs and ride the Blue Arrow Express train around a half-mile track! The ambiance of the farm and the numerous varieties of trees and flowers enliven your senses. While you're there, don’t forget to take pictures of the farm's herd of rescued horses, all being pampered and watched over by the magnificent staff of horse experts. Come enjoy their awesome hospitality!

BLUE ARROW FARM is the brainchild of Don Oriolo, a lifelong animal activist. When the overgrown, falling down farm came up for sale, Don made a commitment to buy it and bring it back to its one-time glory of the winter headquarters for the Meadowlands racehorses — the difference being that Don’s mission was to create a loving, safe environment for the horses (and every other animal for that matter) that need rescuing from ofttimes deplorable conditions. Don took this on using his own personal resources. Horses, alpaca, cows, sheep, goats, mules, chickens, ducks, and pigs who were tossed away, being sent to slaughter, were all rescued and given sanctuary by Don and his amazing staff. Don also spearheaded the biggest cat rescue of over 200 cats recorded in the history of the northeast, contracting a chronic airborne illness in the process. Blue Arrow Farm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3).

The owner of Blue Arrow Farm, Don Oriolo is well known across the entertainment spectrum, having been a fixture in the art, music, television and film industries for decades. He took over the Felix the Cat franchise when his father Joe Oriolo, co-creator of the modern day Felix cartoon character, passed away in 1985, and has become beloved as the “Felix the Cat guy” for his work in continuing the legacy.
He is also widely admired for his charitable and philanthropic endeavors — the latest of which being Blue Arrow's commitment to providing a sanctuary for animals in need.

Sadly, animals don’t know about economics, shortages, or lack of business. They need to eat, range, and be sheltered. This is what Don and his staff continue to do at BLUE ARROW FARM! Everything you can imagine, from hay, to grain, medicine, vets, electric, and so on has inflated out of control. They are planning on having a benefit once a month at Blue Arrow with all proceeds going to the welfare of the horses, cows, alpaca, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, pigs, etc. Of course there will be entertainment and refreshments, and the personal touch of the Blue Arrow staff that everyone has come to love will still be front and center. We hope you will support this wonderful cause.
Information will be listed on our website and social media. Thank you so much for your participation!
