Run, walk, or just get MOOving and join Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary’s Team Annabelle at The Great Cow Harbor 10K Race & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, September 23. This family-friendly fundraising event is in its seventh year and supports the animals at the Northport sanctuary which is home to more than 40 rescued animals, including Annabelle the cow, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ducks, peafowl, and turkeys. Caring for the animals runs about $100,000 a year and all event proceeds go toward covering those expenses which include hay, feed, bedding, and veterinary care. They are currently short of their fundraising goal and appreciate any community support.

Funds help support the animals and a community landmark
The Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary is a longtime favorite community landmark in Northport Village. It is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization and relies fully on private donations to feed, house, and provide veterinary care for each of its animal residents for life. The Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary is also a favorite gathering spot for the community who are welcome to visit the animals at the historic landmark which dates back to the mid 1800s.
