What sets us apart: Dalby is a Farm Built on Love

At Dalby Farm, love is at the heart of everything we do. Our animals are not just farm animals—they're family. Each one has a name, a personality, and a forever home here. We don’t raise them for profit. We don’t send them to market. They are here to be cared for, respected, and loved for their entire lives.

Sadly, not all farms operate this way. Too often, animals are treated as commodities, their comfort and dignity ignored. We’ve seen it firsthand, and it’s heartbreaking. But here at Dalby Farm, we do things differently. We prove that animals—no matter their role—deserve kindness and respect."

But our mission goes beyond just providing sanctuary. We’re shaping the next generation—teaching children to form real, meaningful connections with animals before the screens take their compassion away. Through our toddler enrichment programs, we instill empathy and curiosity, helping kids understand that animals are living beings, not just background characters in their world.

Dalby Farm is also home to rare and critically endangered breeds—animals that, in some cases, could disappear entirely without farms like ours. These animals serve as ambassadors, helping us educate visitors about conservation, biodiversity, and the deep-rooted relationship between humans and livestock.

But a farm like this isn’t easy to maintain—especially through New England’s brutal winters. That’s why our country store is so important. Every purchase directly supports our animals and helps keep our mission alive. It allows us to continue providing the highest level of care, regardless of the season.

Dalby Farm is more than just a farm. It’s a promise—a promise that love and compassion can thrive in a world where too many turn a blind eye. We’re here to set an example, proving that even on farms where animals are raised for food, there is still room for dignity, humane treatment, and respect.

💛 Because every animal deserves kindness. 💛
