Lyric Farm

Lyric Farm Hi! I'm Michelle! With the help of my reluctant honey, Chris, and my longsuffering parents, I run The Refuge at Lyric Farm, a small animal sanctuary.

Lyric Farm is the home of The Refuge at Lyric Farm, a nonprofit animal sanctuary in Massachusetts dedicated to rescuing and caring for special-needs animals, while creating meaningful, hands-on experiences for people of all ages. 💜 Lyric Farm (although it was not called that at the time) got its start in 2003, when, in addition to the six rescue cats I already had, I rescued one lamb, one goat kid

, and four rabbits. (Chris was completely speechless for two whole days; my parents took it in stride.) Since that time my menagerie has grown, and as of January 2020, we *finally* have our own property! In addition to selling farm fresh eggs (which we currently do), my dream is to offer opportunities for members of the public to learn about growing their own food, cooking with vegetables, preserving their harvest, caring for the types of animals we have on the farm (before they dive into keeping any for themselves), processing wool, spinning, knitting, crocheting, soap making, and cheese making, among other fun stuff! We also dream of hosting summer day camps and field trips for school groups to come learn about growing food, animal care, and both forest and wetland ecology. We are thrilled to announce that The Refuge at Lyric Farm is now a project of Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc, a Texas nonprofit corporation recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178, ppf.org/pp). Contributions to The Refuge at Lyric Farm qualify as tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. As always, interaction with the animals is encouraged! Feel free to contact us if you are interested in volunteering as we'd love the help! In the meantime, we are continuing to make appearances with various animals from the resident herd for birthday parties, family reunions, and at places such as churches, summer camps, Vacation Bible Schools, libraries, community functions and Live Nativity presentations. Please feel free to contact us if you'd like to have us come to YOUR event! On this page you will see pictures of the critters and updates on our status as we work toward making the dream come true! (Check back later for the link to our website, which is currently under construction.)

Everybody’s Gotta Eat—Especially Alex!

When animals arrive at The Refuge, they’re promised a lifetime of love and care. Sometimes, that care means helping them put on a little extra weight—like our sweet Alex.

This $5 Friday—our very first!—we’re raising funds to buy 10 bags of Timothy/Alfalfa pellets. That’s enough to feed Alex, plus all the sheep, goats, and even the alpaca, for the entire month of October. (Each bag costs $23.99.)

In addition to the free-choice hay always available, these pellets are an important part of every small ruminant’s diet—especially for animals like Alex, who struggle to eat hay and keep weight on.

With just $5, you’ll help fill Alex’s bowl and keep our herd healthy and happy. Think of it like buying a coffee for a friend—but this one comes with a wagging tail or a grateful baa.

👉 Join us today to nourish Alex and friends with lifelong care!
