Taxes

It’s not easy making these posts.
I know it’s been a while since we updated everyone about the township situation we are dealing with.
We’ve been trying to work things out with the town and our attorneys but we’ve come to the realization it’s not working and we have to go to tax court.

He’s what’s going on.
Last year the town removed part of our exempt status on our property a month before the end of the year to force us into tax sale.
We’ve since hired lawyers and appealed the tax rate so our entire property would be exempt under our 501c3 not for profit organization. The town, unhappy that we did this, counter appealed to remove any tax free benefit from our property so they can charge us the full taxes of $18k per year citing a few weak excuses.
The issue is that we must now go into tax court and litigate this which is going to be a very costly and time consuming process.
Our lawyers have been phenomenal with helping us but a large tax court litigation is very expensive.
Our attorneys are very confident that we will win and we have case law on our side, however there is no quick way to do this without a tax court litigation, which is exactly what the town wants.
Then we have the other issue where the township is saying we can’t have a farm on our property for some reason. Again, another weak case, but something we still have to address and represent in court which will also cost us more money.
There is no easy way around this, our legal bills and the taxes is going to run upwards of $40k.
This is in addition to our ongoing costs of feeding and caring for our rescues.
I know this is a huge amount, but we just cannot shoulder all these costs alone.
We will be unable to continue our operations if we don’t have help with this.
It’s ridiculous that the town is costing us so much money but guess what, their lawyers and officials are all getting paid, and that’s coming from yours and our tax dollars.
Let’s put our money to better use!
If we can get 4,000 people to give $10 that would save our sanctuary.
We will be putting every single penny we make from admissions , sponsorships and donations towards this huge bill.
We have to hit this number by September to file the paperwork or we will be forced to close down by the township.
We cannot climb this hill alone.
We need your help and. If you love animals and believe in us , please help and share share share so we can get the word out.
We have setup a new go fund me that can be shared as much as possible.
Link is https://gofund.me/7481d7b5

We will be posting this campaign daily until September to please help us get this word out and help our animals keep their home!

All donations are 100% tax deductible and receipts can be provided.

Hi everyone, Happy Monday. Please be aware when donating to us through Venmo, to make sure you check the account you are sending the money to. This account in the picture is a fraudulent account. They stole our logo and made the name very similar to our just without spaces. If you’ve donated here we won’t get it. It seems they have stolen a few donations from us already. Their handle is hahasue, that is definitely NOT us. See the second picture for the difference.
Our Venmo has our handle as charlotte farms and contains our email and phone number.
Please verify this info before you sent the money.
If you’ve sent to this account please message Venmo so they can flag it as fraud and shut it down.
Thanks so much everyone for all the help we sincerely appreciate it.
we can’t find the life of our understand why people make a living by stealing from charities, but unfortunately, this is the world we live in today .
Another note we are still 6 bales short from getting our delivery this week. We still need $480 to complete our delivery. Please make sure it’s sent for the proper Venmo. We will attach a link below.

It’s a new month and we are completely out hay 😪. It has been such a cold month and we kept our animals well fed to keep up their engery.
We need a fresh delivery of 12 bales of hay to get us through the month. Each bale costs $80.
If you can sponsor a bale or part of one it would be such a huge help to us.
We appreciate your support and everything everyone does for our sanctuary ❤️.

The BEST news EVER!
Our sweet new horse that we rescued this month from certain death has been sponsored!
Patti found out about our farm last week and reached out to us. She started following our stories and told us she wants to come down and connect with our new horse and sponsor her.
Patti worked with horses her entire life and it was a match made in heaven.
Heartbroken by her sad story, Patti wanted to give her a strong name to match her strong spirit, that despite everything she’s been through, she did not lose her personality and now she has a new loving home, a new loving mama and a NEW NAME!
🌹ESTHER🌹
As one of the strongest women in the Bible, this name is appropriate for our courageous girl!
Thank you Patti Conboy for sponsoring her and caring for her. We look forward to seeing you at our farm as often and you like to care for your new sweet girl! 🙏🏽

Please reach out to us to join our growing list of animal sponsors, and partner with us to breathe new life into these sweet animals.

We received ANOTHER call from the Jackson PD & the OCPO.
ANOTHER farm was found to be starving and abusing their animals.
We arrived to the scene of several deceased animals and many that were on deaths door and needed rehoming.
This is the 3rd call we got in less than a month.
When will the abuse end? When will people stop torturing poor defenceless animals😔
Total animals rescued
4 goats
17 chicken
10 ducks
4 turkeys
35 animal in total that we took in without question.
NJ Department Of Agriculture will be finalizing testing and we will be able to integrate these animals into their own kind at our sanctuary

We are cleaning and setting up new corrals for our expanding sanctuary. We cannot do this without your help.
Now more than ever our animals need you!
Our already huge overhead is getting bigger as the need to feed, hay, medical and corral maintenance grows.
Please share and spread the work so the everyone can see the work we do!

Our sanctuary is growing! We have taken animals from three separate rescue missions this month, and as recent as yesterday - we will post details once investigation is complete.
As we grow the need for hay and feed for our animals grows as well.
We have run out of feed early, our stock usually lasts months but with the cold weather and the new animals we are a month short. We have to send a truck to pickup this feed today so our animals will have food for the next 2 months. We need $948.75 to cover this cost.
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated.
Donations are tax deductible and we can provide tax receipts.

Another day, another call from the Ocean County prosecutors office….
It’s unbelievable that we are in 2025 and we are still dealing with people abusing and torturing animals 😔
Multiple state & local agencies were involved in this rescue mission. This was an animal abuse factory ( we cannot elaborate ) , and several deceased and tortured animals were found on site.
We received the call last week to take in and rehome the few remaining animals that escaped death, although looked severely tortured and malnourished .
We took in these animals without hesitation. They will be kept under quarantine until the OCPO & the Dept. of agriculture completes its lab analysis, but they are safe and we will do everything in our power to give a safe and loving home to them and every animal that is in situations like these.

Stories like these are enormously heartbreaking, words cannot describe the scene we witnessed, but this is all the more reason to keep continuing to work that we do so we can raise awareness about what’s going on in the world and that these poor animals can have a safe home to live abuse free.
please help spread the word and support our mission so we can continue doing this important work and provide love and care to all animals in desperate need.
💔💔💔😔

Donations are the best way to help us. Every penny goes straight towards our animals,
they can be made via our website, www.charlottefarms.org, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle . [email protected]

Thank you so much for your continued support and please reach out if you can help and want to be involved.

WARNING: this post contains pictures that may be sensitive to some.

Very sad animal cruelty situation from today. 💔There is some good news though.

We were contacted by the Jackson Police Department in conjunction with the Ocean County Prosecutors Office about an animal abuse situation at a local farm in Jackson , NJ.

They received a call about an animal fatality at a farm and proceeded to investigate.
What they found was heartbreaking .
A 1500lb+ cow deceased on the floor and another cow and a horse that were barely alive and dying from apparent starvation.
Local towns are not equipped to deal with situations like this, so the police called us and asked us to intervene.
We responded right away and found that the deceased cow had died from starvation and an extreme case of dehydration.
The cow and the horse that were there were in need of serious care and desperate for a new home.
It was without hesitation that we agreed to take these animals in and nurse them back to health.
A warrant was issued by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, and the animals were released to us.
These two animals are now at our sanctuary, being cared for and getting ready to be settled into their new home.
When some people ask, what benefit is there to have and organization like us around, it is for countless situations like this where animals are in dire straights and unfortunately, most of the time dying after months of abuse and torture.
We are here 100% to care for animals and to educate the public about the cruelty that animals face in the world these days.
It is unfortunate, but had we gotten this call sooner we may have been able to save the other cow as well.
Please help support our mission and support our sanctuary so we can continue caring for and feeding these animals. Despite everything we are going through, we will not stop, so that we can keep providing these animals with the safe and loving home that they deserve. ❤️
