Pigs; they’re adorable, loveable and always getting into something. What would a picture of a pig be without a snout covered in mud? Whether they’re full-sized pigs or potbellied pigs, caring for these large and vocal animals is a full-time job. Cedar Row has 10 full-size pigs and 7 potbellied pigs along with all the […]

Tilley & Turkeys
A short time ago we lost a Cedar Row resident with a dual personality. Tilley was affectionate in the winter when she needed you for your body heat and a little bit standoffish in summer unless she wanted food. She was a turkey of many faces and we certainly miss having her around. People often […]

Herb, our wonderful cat, is such a great friend to all the new rescues that make their way to Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary. Here he is with Pratchett, (Piggy was his old name) checking out the winter thaw and all the clean up that needs to be done.
