A tranquil place for people and animals
Building relationships, one animal at a time.
Hope & Serenity Farm Sanctuary is a non-profit animal sanctuary open to the public in picturesque Nokesville, Virginia. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing home for over 250 formerly neglected and abused farm animals. Our mission is to create a loving and beautiful environment that encourages relationships between our animals and the people who visit them.
We run 100% on donations. We welcome visitors by appointment and are thrilled to offer tours of our sanctuary. If you're passionate about animal welfare, we also offer volunteer opportunities and animal sponsorship opportunities where you can help make a difference in the lives of our furry friends.
Meet the new goats!
These animals grew up together in a loving farm home and when their owner passed away, his spouse didn’t want to see them separated or used as food.
