About the Blue Barn

Our mission

Incorporated in 2018, the Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary is a 501c3 organization located in Creswell, OR. Now in 2024, we are home to 42 foster and resident animals- dedicated to promoting kindness, compassion and empathy by bringing youth, and all human beings, together with farm animals rescued from a life of abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Our vision

Our vision is to teach young people from local schools, clubs and treatment programs by doing outreach; offering virtual and in person humane education, and having guests out for tours at the Blue Barn.

By sharing the stories of the animals, recognizing them as sentient beings and educating the public about their personalities, habits and traits , we wish to expand what we know to be true and potentially change the way we think about animals and others that we perceive as “different”.

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - quote by Nelson Mendela; a child and a pig looking at each other

We will begin by doing outreach into schools, after school programs, libraries, camps and more. Ideally, we hope to host folks at the Blue Barn some day.

Come along and watch our dream become a reality!
