Grateful Acres’ resident farm pup!
She arrived in spring of 2022, and has already learned how where the fun friends are….as well as the mud! She is a farm pup through and through, learning to interact with some and has her favorites too! (The big pigs and Keeper!)

Meet the Johnny!
Johnny joined us here in late April 2022. He is a sweet boy who likes to trot and canter around the pasture. If you want to pet him, make sure you have some treats!

Meet the queen of the farm!
Miss Coolie is a rescue thoroughbred that joined us here at Grateful Acres in 2001 and has been ruling it ever since!

Holy Cow! Well….steer.
Our resident cow here at Grateful Acres! Frankie is learning to be handled and interact with humans. At the moment, he likes to give a small lick ‘hello’, but it’s quite ready for all the petting. A cow tongue feels quite odd but we appreciate the affection. As mini Highland Dexter and will max out at about 4.5 feet tall!

Grateful Acres resident farm cats. The first to arrive was Keeper, the last of 9 foster kittens. When Ally went to meet him, she knew right away he was a keeper! The other 4 were rescued from a farm not too far from here. We only planned to keep one, but they adjusted to the farm so well we couldn’t send them away.

These two are miniature donkeys came together to join the farm in the fall/winter of 2020.
Gus is feisty and loves snacks and scratches. Brownie is s bit smaller and sometimes his brother may pick on him a bit…but little do they know that Brownie gets some extra treats!
(Brownie is Ally’s favorite but don’t tell the others!)

The oldest of the goats, Mildred and Mable, came to us in the summer of 2022. They are about 8 years old. Having only lived outside, they do not care to be in the barn. The baby goats, Domino and Buckeye, were gifted to us in August, just in time for Ally’s birthday. They are the most curious and playful goats, always keeping us on our toes!

This duo are Heritage Bourbon Red turkeys and found their forever home with us. Zeke and Zoe love hanging out together and walking the pastures.

These two lovely girls are beautiful Hampshire Sheep and joined Grateful Acres in October of 2021. They are sassy and playful. Never show up without treats, they insist.

The number of chickens at the farm has happily grown to a bit of a gang. A fair mix of breeds and some that have their own special story. The farm Silkies (currently not shown) are their own special breed!

Our six resident farm ducks are always in a row. The bond that they have formed is something that books are written about. They really quack us up!

Barn-raised guinea pigs? Yup!

A definite favorite of the younger visitors here, This band of brothers live in their own stall in the barn, and love it! They have come to us from various places and different groups but get along great! Though they like the chase, they do enjoy being held and cuddled. They have also been known to give little squeaks for some fresh snackies!

Buford and Willis joined the Grateful Acres family in August of 2021. They are Kune Kune pigs from a farm in Everett, PA. Being Kune Kune pigs, they have a short snout and love to spend their days laying in the sun after grazing on fresh grass. An early 2021 Christmas gift to herself, Ally rounded out and made a trio with this sweet and sassy girl. Although it took some time, her brothers do not let her out of their sight!
