CAA Farmaste Animal Sanctuary Workday

Come meet the residents at Farmaste, a Minnesota sanctuary for farmed animals! You’ll get to interact with and help sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and a donkey. Volunteering at Farmaste is a wonderful way to get fresh air and a workout, all while contributing to animals’ well-being.

How to Register

Go to our Ticketbud site to sign up to volunteer!

What is Farmaste Animal Sanctuary?

Farmaste rescues abused, neglected, and unwanted farmed animals and provides them with a safe sanctuary to live out their natural lifespans. Residents are respected as someone, not treated as something.

What is the Schedule?

At 9:30am, we’ll gather at the picnic table to meet each other and to review the tasks for the day. We’ll then split into smaller groups, and clean out the different barns, replacing dirty straw with fresh straw.

Where is the Sanctuary?

The sanctuary is in Lindstrom, MN, less than an hour north of the Twin Cities, near Stacy and North Branch. The exact address will be provided to all attendees the week before the event. If you RSVP on Monday November 10 or later, please email abbey.feola@exploreveg.org to receive the address.

Other important notes:

  • Dress appropriately for the weather, and wear layers!
  • To protect your arms from straw, please wear long sturdy sleeves, and bring work gloves.
  • To protect your lungs from straw & hay dust, please bring a face mask or face covering.
  • Sign the waiver before participating:
  • Treat all your fellow humans and nonhuman animals with respect while at the sanctuary. In particular, please refrain from endorsing the harm of animals in any way (via abuse, killing, etc.).
  • Have an extra seat? Looking for a ride? Looking to cut your carbon impact? Join the carpool!:
We look forward to seeing you there at what has proven to be one of our most popular events! RSVP now to reserve your spot for a rewarding time.
