Asher's Farm Sanctuary: A Haven for Rescued Animals & A Must-Visit For Families

Joburg Admin / July 6, 2023

Asher's Farm Sanctuary offers rescue, rehabilitation and forever homes to injured and abandoned farm animals. At the sanctuary, enjoy a tour, meet the animals, visit the store and indulge in delectable vegan fare. We spent a day out at this amazing place and found it is worth the drive to our neighbouring city. Here's why. 

The first registered farm animal sanctuary in Gauteng, Asher's Farm Sanctuary is a godesend in the realm of animal rescue and rehabilitation. Nestled in Centurion, this non-profit organisation is a beacon of hope for animals rescued from the factory farming industry.

A Sanctuary with a Mission

Asher's Farm Sanctuary is a safe haven for animals and a place where stories of struggle and survival are shared. It gives the public insight into the realities farm animals face in the modern factory-farming industry.

Each resident of the sanctuary, from cows and pigs to chickens and horses, has a unique tale to tell. Their inspiring survival stories shed light on the harsh conditions of factory farming and celebrates the resilience of the incredible creatures.

A Day Out for the Family

Visiting Asher's Farm Sanctuary is a must for families seeking a fun, educational, and heart-warming day out. The sanctuary offers tours where visitors can meet the rescued animals and learn about their stories.

The animals at Asher's love visitors as much as you'll love touring the farm. This is the perfect destination for animal lovers of all ages.

Visit Asher's Corner Café

Want some of the best plant-based meals in town? Then be sure to make a stop over to Asher's Corner Café for something delicious, whether you're vegan or not.

Open from Wednesdays to Sundays, join them for breakfast, brunch, lunch and their amazing Beyond Burgers. There's also tasty dishes for the little ones and some of the best rich 'n thick milkshakes we've ever tasted!

Support A Great Cause

Asher's Farm Sanctuary operates on the generous contributions of the public. There are several ways you can contribute and support their mission. You can become a 'Hero' by sponsoring an animal's monthly feed, bedding, and medical costs.

In return, you'll receive a sponsorship certificate with a colour photograph of your sponsored friend. And you can schedule private tours to visit them.

Alternatively, you can contribute towards the animals' feed costs by sponsoring a bale of grass. Or donate to the sanctuary's medical fund to help with the animals' healthcare. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps cultivate a better world for us all.
