The Animal Sanctuary

Focuses primarily on small livestock (goats, sheep, pigs, alpacas, miniature equestrians and miniature cattle) and small pets that are being relinquished due to zoning or foreclosure issues.

Tomestead

A different sort of sanctuary, one that keeps used books out of the landfills. The bulk of the books will be from donations. Patrons will have the option of in-store credit (20% off purchase) or a check for 20% of the estimated resale price*. Campus will consist of re-purposed sheds, RVs, trailers and/or mobile concession booths. Each upcycled building will host a different genre, or subject(s) and be themed accordingly. Additional outbuildings will host various natural fiber, herbal and apian products produced on-site and throughout the local community.

Topography will include:

• A 9000 square foot heirloom herb garden.
• A petting zoo.
• A café featuring menu items that would have been popular in the 19th century**.

*Proceeds from any and all sales will be re-invested into the business, as well as providing for the care of the animals.

**All facilities will be zero-waste using upcycled, repurposed, and/or compostable cutlery, containers and bags.

 

But where is this wonderful place, you might be asking?

For now, it’s still in the planning stages…and, perhaps, it will never make it beyond the dream stage, but what is life if one no longer dares to dream?
