Mary's Farm Sanctuary, Inc.

e are a non-profit 501(c)(3) near Lone Tree, in east-central Iowa. It started out as a private mission for Mary, who took in animals that were neglected, abused, and unwanted. Over the past decade, it became clear that there are still a lot of animals in need. Too many people get animals they don't really want nor do they take care of them. People continue to breed animals to make money. Mary's Farm provides some of these animals with a permanent and loving home. The animals greet visitors to the farm and go to local senior centers and schools. We also invite the centers out to the Farm in the summer and fall. This way they can enjoy the animals and the gardens first hand.
We partner our seniors with local school children to plant and grow vegetables in our gardens. The food we grow goes to a local food bank and senior meal programs.
