Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary

Nonprofit farm animal rescue in Arroyo Grande, CA. Here, rescued residents are given the love, care, and attention they need to recover from abusive situations.

We rescue, rehabilitate, and provide lifelong care for dozens of animals saved from neglect, kill pens and factory farms. All of the animals enjoy healthy food, clean shelter, and lots of room to roam every single day. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and rely on donations to care for our animal friends. At Greener Pastures we teach that all lives matter and even though we all look different on the outside, on the inside we are all the same.

It’s the time of year when our fowl begin to molt just like our Henna is.

Chickens molt to replace old, worn feathers with new, healthy ones, which is a natural process that occurs annually. This process helps them maintain a healthy and waterproof coat for the winter months.

Molting can also be triggered by stress or changes in environment, and it usually results in a temporary decrease in egg production as the hen’s energy is directed towards feather regrowth.

Molting typically takes 8 to 16 weeks. This timeframe can vary based on breed, age, the environment, and the individual chicken. Some chickens might molt faster (around a month), while others could take up to four months!

Since Henna looks so bare, I have been applying sunscreen on her (Zinc oxide and PABA free only).

Hang in there Henna!!! 🐓🪶💚

Happy birthday to this handsome fella! Today Woody turns 85!

Last weekend we had a little surprise party for him with the other volunteers. (Yep, he WAS surprised!)

Woody has been volunteering with us for over two years. He was in the Vietnam war, retired from the Men’s Colony, lived in Spain, raised a big family, and is a true gentleman. Woody has a great sense of humor and is exceptionally kind and generous.

Happy Birthday Woody! We love you 💙

Happy Monday from Daphne 🩷 This little girl was part of a hoarding situation. She spent her first 2-3 years in a crate! Not anymore.

Although waking up on foggy Mondays isn’t her favorite thing, Daphne is living her best life now🐶❣️

Good morning Lambda! Lambda is the sweetest ewe. She came to us from an FFA (Future Farmers of America) student who didn’t want his friend to be slaughtered.

While FFA teaches some wonderful leadership skills to kids, it also teaches that animals are “things”, not sentient beings. Fortunately, there is an alternative program that teaches important skills to kids without the animals being hurt!
Lambda loves this idea! What are your thoughts?

Ellie May, a 15 year old little lady, needed to see the vet recently for some blood in her vomit. Turns out she is A-Okay!!! She ruptured a blood vessel. Ellie did so good for the Doctor!🩶

We just had the most amazing weekend! We don’t get to travel too often because caring for the animals at GP demands all of our attention, so it was a rare pleasure to travel to Palm Springs for my dear cousin Brad’s birthday party.

In lieu of gifts he encouraged his friends to donate to Greener Pastures! A great BIG thank you to Brad and Rick Seeley for making a milestone birthday party a fundraiser for Greener Pastures! (kudos to Rick who cooked for 150 people!)

Thank you to everyone who generously donated and helped reach our goal of $6500!!!! We are truly grateful for each of you who contributed.

What a fun party as well! The theme was the Mexican Loteria- which is like a bingo game played by drawing cards instead of balls. Everyone we met was friendly, kind and loves animals. We can’t thank you all enough 💜

Some very happy sheep after being sheared last week! They are enjoying feeling our pets now vs before which was through thick wool.

Their natural lanolin makes them feel a little damp. Lanolin is a natural oil sheep produce that is protective and moisturizing, similar to our skin oils, but waxier. It helps to waterproof sheep and conditions both the wool and their skin, keeping it healthy and preventing dryness.

They look much more comfortable now. Good job Parli, Opal, and Lambda 👏🏻😃🩵
