Our Mission
Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary’s mission is to provide lifetime sanctuary to farmed animals with donations solely benefiting direct animal care. We believe in treating all beings with compassion and respect, and we strive to promote a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle.
Our Goals
​Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary has been a place of refuge for farm animals since its inception in 2015. Our journey is fueled by the desire to create a world where every animal is valued and protected.
Our goals are to rescue abused, surrendered, and/or neglected farmed animals. We provide permanent and loving homes for the rest of their lives. We also provide community resources for living a compassionate vegan lifestyle. Humane education is a passion project woven into our mission, often discussed within each tour, but also during specialized workshops curated for children.

Mocking-Board
Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary was founded by best friends, Jonell Chudyk and Jon Tedd, who shared the same mission. In 2015, founder Jonell Chudyk purchased a crumbling 1800’s era farm and, as a team, they turned the original dairy farm into a sanctuary. Mockingbird has grown into a beautiful space of rehabilitation.
In addition to physical farm chores, behind the scenes work is crucial. Mockingbird benefits from a passionate board of directors, a robust group of volunteers, and a dedicated fundraising team.
