Fundraiser for the Heartstone Family

Vegan organic farm sanctuary on 10 acres with 2 calves, 2 blind heifers, 4 bullocks, 2 cows, 4 lambs, 7 sheep, 2 Irish Cobs, 2 Shetland ponies, 2 cats (and strays), 2 Staffies, a swarm Irish Black Bees, orchard, veg, herb and new forest garden and a girl.

Heartstone Veganic Sanctuary, a humble attempt to help creating the peaceful and compassionate more-than-human world our hearts know is possible.

Heartstone is the first vegan organic sanctuary in Ireland - but hopefully not for long!

Veganic means, that not only everything that is grown on the farm is grown according to vegan organic (also called stockfree organic) standards, but also, that all food, treats, and other products for the animals and for me - including fabrics, supplements, natural remedies, care products and so on - are vegan and organic, veganic wherever possible - and there’s only very few exceptions I have to make due to unavailability (like wood shavings, and natural but non-organic worming), but everything is always natural, chemical-free, and where available, also seasonal and local or fair trade.

The fruit, veg, and in the near future nuts are also grown with no-dig methods, an emphasis on perennials, and along permaculture principles and the concept of forest gardening.

How to help/support us:

Helping hands, especially on a regular basis, and live-in volunteers would be very much appreciated as well, with a separate one-room building being available, which, though very basic, contains all necessary facilities. Just drop me a message if you’re interested to support me physically. ‍

If you wish to support us financially towards feed, bedding, vet bills, farrier, supplements, care and maintenance costs, please contact me via private message or email for banking details. Please note: Heartstone is not a registered charity yet, and so cannot accept donations. But we are able to receive gifts of friends and supporters.

Please consider contributing to this fundraiser will will go directly to Nia and the gang!
