Merrymac Farm Sanctuary

They generally do try to retire them into good homes. Some of these horses decide they have had enough of this type of work. The fear is always where any horse will end up. Many of the Mounted Horses are draft crosses. These horses tend to show up older and in auctions quite a bit as well.

Locals: we are City Market’s 50% Rally for Change partner for the month of March!

To celebrate, we decided to check out some of the many, many cool vegan products they carry! 🥰

Thank you thank you!! ❤️

Yes please!

All of our residents have stories, but sweet Zydin might have a few more than most because he is a former Detroit mounted police horse. Thankfully he is retired from that life and his only job now is to be a healthy, happy horse!

Thank you so much!! ☺️

Yes, and probably also anyone who needs a pill! They are very good for hiding medicine. 💊

Part of our mission is to show people that the line between “companion” animals and “livestock” animals is arbitrary and imaginary. They ALL want safety, love, and companionship. 💕

Guests to the sanctuary are always surprised and delighted by how friendly and “dog-like” our pigs are, but it’s not unusual at all when pigs are raised and treated with kindness.

March 1st is National Pig Day! Of course, every day is a good day to celebrate these incredibly smart, sensitive, social, and loving souls, but most people don't get the chance to know pigs in person so it's great to have an official day to show them off. ❤️

Vermonters in the Burlington area: for the entire month of March @citymarketcoop.bsky.social has graciously made us a 50% Rally for Change partner. That means when customers round up their totals for donation, we'll get 50% of the total for March! www.citymarket.coop/community/ra...

Vegan food in Montreal

Thank you @Lola Rosa Montreal for a night of food. Montreal is such a fabulous city. We are lucky to border an amazing country full of so many vegan restaurants and great folks! Running a sanctuary does not allow a person too many nights away! Vegan Poutine for the win! 💕

If you’ve never heard a donkey braying, George has a special message just for you.

Thank you, Dave! 🥰

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! ☺️
