HIGH FALLS, NY – Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for farmed animals, will mark its 20th anniversary with a celebration with the community in June.

The sanctuary will host a Birthday Bash on Saturday, June 15, at 2 Rescue Road, High Falls, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early bird tickets are $15 and can be purchased at woodstocksanctuary.org/events/birthdaybash. The rain date is June 16. Kids under 3 are admitted free.

The Birthday Bash will feature vegan food from local vendors like Yeah Dawg!, Samosa Shack, Aba’s Falafel, Little Loaf Bakeshop, Pixie Floss, and more. Guests will have the opportunity for up-close encounters with animals such as Maybelle the cow, who recently marked her 19th birthday.

Attendees can also anticipate a variety of games and surprises throughout the day.

The sanctuary was founded in 2004 and was located in the town of Woodstock. It moved to High Falls in 2015. Through its history, the sanctuary has welcomed more than 3,000 farm animals and helped save many thousands more, including cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, turkeys, mules, horses, guinea fowl “and yes, even one special llama named Dolly,” the organization said on its website.
