During Plant Matter Kitchen’s Grand Opening on August 11th, people came hungry, hearts went home full, and lots of friends were made.

As of 2015, the farm sanctuary has rescued dozens of animals and placed them in safe homes, including: 2 goats, 5 rabbits, 18 pot bellied pigs, 84 battery hens, 8 ducks, 17 backyard hens, 7 turkeys, 1 donkey, and D’Arcy the pig.
