Farmaste Sanctuary Volunteer Day

Come meet the residents at Farmaste, a Minnesota farm animal sanctuary! RSVP requested by June 13 — sign up on the CAA event.

*** Please RSVP via the CAA webpage here. Space is limited, RSVP required. ***

What We’ll Do
The 9:30am opening circle will include a guided breathing meditation. We’ll also share more information about ongoing work by both CAA and Farmaste.
Then, we’ll clean out the barns and spread clean straw. We’ll also get to see and possibly meet some of the residents. Farmaste currently cares for various cattle, pig, goat, and sheep residents.
We’ll wash up around 1:00 or 1:30 (depending on how long barn cleaning takes).
Afterwards, we’ll have time and shade to enjoy vegan snacks and drinks together.

What to Wear

• Closed-toe shoes
• Clothes you can get dirty
• A sturdy long-sleeved top (so the straw does not scratch your arms)
• Work gloves (so the straw does not scratch your hands)
• A face mask (so as to not inhale straw dust)
• Water bottle

Farmaste provides all needed tools. CAA will provide drinks and vegan snacks to enjoy afterwards, as well as blankets and a tent for shade. We’ll also have non-animal-tested sunscreen and bug repellent on hand.

What is Farmaste Animal Sanctuary?
Farmaste Animal Sanctuary rescues abused, neglected, and unwanted farm animals and provides them with a safe sanctuary. Residents are always respected as someone, not treated as something.
In addition to caring for resident animals, Farmaste offers community events, wine nights, tours, and volunteer opportunities. They are also certified by a Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries as offering exceptional care and space for their animals. Check out their Instagram for more information.

Where is Farmaste?
Farmaste is located in Lindstrom, MN, less than an hour north of the Twin Cities, near Stacy and North Branch. The exact address will be emailed to all attendees the week before the event.
