And-Hof Mission

Our mission begins with giving abused and neglected farm animals a safe and caring home but goes further to create an environment where people, animals, and nature live in balanced co-existence. 

Rather than being contained in pens, our animals enjoy as much freedom and autonomy as is safe. We then nurture them to follow their instinctual habits and build on that to create a healthier ecosystem:

Armies of Chicken, Ducks, Turkeys, and Geese indulging on ticks, slugs, and insects create a safer environment for flora, fauna, and people alike. Goats foraging in the woods eliminate invasive weeds and open the tree canopy. Pigs’ rooting aerates the soil, helping nutrients sink deeper and rocks to be loosened, which stimulates pasture and crop growth with a zero-carbon footprint.
