Three young cockerels dumped in our field after dark, a little hen chased down a garden path, and a horse who decided there’s no place like home.
From festival crowds to strawberry deliveries, this month has reminded us just how lucky we are to have supporters like you. Here’s what you helped make happen in August.
A heatwave, seven pallets of carrots and a brave blind lamb who refused to give up. June has been a scorcher at Manor Orchard Farm.
A mystery rescue lamb, pig wallows in full swing, and our first open weekend of 2026. May has arrived at Manor Orchard Farm.

Happy New Year! We’re starting 2026 as official owners of Manor Orchard Farm – and it’s all thanks to you. Plus, frosty mornings, cosy animals and the real cost of keeping 600+ mouths fed this winter.
We did it! Manor Orchard Farm is officially ours. Plus, festive fair highlights, cosy winter nights for our animals, and Christmas tree treats for the goats.
As autumn settles in, The Farm is full of life, laughter and love – from piglets exploring their paddock to Halloween fun for families. But our biggest challenge is ahead: we must complete the purchase of Manor Orchard Farm by December to secure our animals’ future. Every donation helps us make it happen.
We’ve had an amazing August, we’ve saved 19 pigs, our cows and sheep enjoyed a delicious apple pulp feast, while Freedom Fields Festival 2025 brought music, compassion, and incredible support from our community.
The Farm has given 19 pigs a second chance at life after rescuing them from desperate conditions. Meet Rosita, Bruno, Penelope and friends, now safe and thriving thanks to your support.
Halfway through 2025, blazing sunshine has tested our little corner of Worcestershire – but thanks to your kindness our animals are still cool, comfortable and very well loved.

From Chewy’s dental drama to Tony the pig’s muddy sunbathing, it’s been a busy month at the sanctuary! We’ve celebrated mums, launched art classes with our cheeky lambs, and are gearing up for our first ever Spring Open Weekend.
As spring brings fresh energy to the Sanctuary, our rescued animals are thriving in the sunshine. But alongside the joys of the season, we’ve faced unexpected hurdles, including a devastating theft. Read on for all the latest updates from our beloved residents and how you can help.
Our essential Polaris Ranger was stolen from the Sanctuary last weekend, leaving us in crisis. This vehicle was vital for daily tasks, from moving animals to distributing feed. We have no backup and urgently need help to replace it. Please donate, share, or fundraise to help us care for our 600 rescue animals.
