Next Chapter Press Release

Fostering available for The Boys 

Story Book Farm is a place of safety. We offer freedom from fear. We are a place of healing and recovery from trauma.

As of 2018-12-12, we are home to 18 monkeys who have come to us for peace and solace from a variety of backgrounds, some of them with stories difficult even to share, let alone survive.

In sanctuary care, we encourage friendships between our residents. We encourage exploration and freedom of choice. We give back the ability to make decisions and control events that affect residents' lives.

At Story Book Farm we believe that all animals have rights; that animals have the right to live free of fear or pain from humans, in any form;  and that we can all make a difference, one being at a time.

Won't you join us in our mission? Donate or volunteer today! The rewards are immeasurable.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past.  We hope you will continue to do so in the future, and spread the word so that our community of supporters continues to grow!

Story Book: The Next Chapter

Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary has long been the home of monkeys, each  with their own heart-wrenching story.  It is now necessary to expand.  The demand continues as we learn of monkeys needing sanctuary - monkeys that are being kept inhumanely in roadside zoos, monkeys that are being bred for the exotic pet trade and, most recently, research monkeys. In a precedent-setting move, Story Book Farm is now home to the first lab monkeys to be allowed to retire after surviving their research obligations. We want to provide the best long-term captive care to monkeys who have had their wild lives stolen.  

In order to take in more monkeys - we already have a waiting list of two - we need to expand.  This plan to build a new sustainable structure and extensive outdoor areas will cost $1million.

See our press release here , and our fund-raising campaign here.

Watch our campaign launch video.

$112,592 raised as of 2019-02-19.  315 days to go to raise $887,408 more.
