ABOUT
Our Mission, Vision + Values
Mission
Blue Iris Farm is a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to rescuing neglected and abused farm animals and providing transformative experiences for people through connection with animals, and nature. We create a safe space for both animals and humans to recover, reconnect, and thrive — emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Vision Statement
To create a world where animals are valued, people are renewed through meaningful connection, and every soul — whether hoofed or human — has a safe place to belong, heal, and thrive. Blue Iris Farm envisions a future where animal rescue and human healing are seamlessly integrated, creating transformative experiences that foster compassion, resilience, and community wellness.
Our Core Values
At our heart, our work is guided by five core values that shape everything we do. These principles aren't just words on a page; they are the foundation of our sanctuary, the spirit behind our mission, and the promise we make to every person and animal who comes through our gates. They reflect our belief that a world built on compassion, healing, and community is a better world for all. We invite you to learn more about the values that define our commitment to creating a safe and welcoming space, fostering meaningful connections, and acting as a responsible, ethical steward of this beautiful land.
1. COMPASSION.
We treat every living being — animal and human — with kindness, respect, and empathy. We believe in second chances and the power of unconditional care.
2. HEALING THROUGH CONNECTION.
We foster deep, meaningful connections between people, animals, and the natural world, using those relationships as a path to emotional wellness and inner peace.
3. SANCTUARY & SAFETY.
Our farm is a safe haven where animals and guests alike can feel protected, nurtured, and free to be themselves — no judgment, no pressure.
4. INTEGRITY & STEWARDSHIP.
We are transparent, responsible stewards of our land, resources, and donor contributions. Every decision is guided by love, ethics, and sustainability
5. COMMUNITY & INCLUSION.
We welcome people of all backgrounds and ages. Whether you're volunteering, attending a retreat, or just visiting, you are part of our farm family.
