In order to better accommodate its current group of rescued cows, sheep, goats, pigs and other farmed animals, as well as to provide space for even more animals in need, the Lancaster Farm Sanctuary recently relocated to a larger facility. The nonprofit sanctuary, founded in the summer of 2017 by Sarah Salluzzo and Jonina Turzi, was previously located at 558 Milton Grove Road South in Elizabethtown. The sanctuary’s new address is 1871 Milton Grove Road, Mount Joy. Although the new location is only
2 miles away from the previous farm, the new property has much more pasture space. “The previous farm was about 5 acres but only 3 was habitable, because there was a creek and wetlands,” explained board member Sara Petrosky. “The new farm is almost 18 acres, and almost all of it is pasture.” The biggest benefit of the new location is that the sanctuary will not have to turn down as many requests by area police, humane workers and others who are seeking help for farmed animals in life-or-death situations. “We have people asking almost daily, ‘Can you take in this animal?’ A lot of times the requests are by the police.
