A Message From the Founders
From our inception in 2013, our farm has maintained a dual purpose. Our mission is to provide healing and educational programs based on an animal-centered approach, especially for specific groups of people.
It was important to us that the name of our farm included "Community". Allaire Community Farm relies heavily on volunteers, who give their time to better their local communities as well as our farm community.
Donations, grants, and individuals who want to enrich the lives of our animals and those that visit, are our main sources of funding. In addition, we offer several programs to the public in order to cover some of our operating costs. All monies received go directly to support the mission of the farm and its programs.
Our focus will always be centered around our animals and those who benefit the most from their touch and love.
Sean and JoAnn Burney
