Since 2014, Darby's Farm has been a no-kill home for animals in need. We raise guinea fowl for natural tick control, harvest honey from our hives every year, and donate the eggs and produce we grow to charities in our area.
Darby's Farm began in 2014 with a tiny kitten found on our doorstep. We named the kitten Darby, and the farm has carried that name ever since.
The farm itself started with Cody, our white horse, and the baby goats. The guinea fowl came next, to take care of a tick problem in our gardens, and a swap for some of those guineas brought us our first chickens. Then we started hatching heritage Narragansett turkeys, and later, emus. Smokin Blue, a Quarter Horse mare, joined the crew about six years after Cody, and Pete the peacock arrived two years ago.
We're a no-kill farm that takes in animals in need of a loving forever home. We sell guinea fowl so others can tackle ticks the natural way, harvest honey every year, and donate the eggs and produce we grow to charities in our area.
No animal is ever turned away for being old, shy, or "too much."
Eggs and produce go to charities in our area.
Harvested from our own beehives.
Every resident has a name, a story, and usually a strong opinion about snack time.

We keep lots of beehives here on the farm, and every year we harvest their honey. Our bees are some of the hardest workers we have.
Darby's Farm gives eggs and fresh produce to charities right here in our community, and opens our gate to animals who need a safe, loving place to spend the rest of their lives.
Our hens lay every day, and a big share of those eggs goes straight to local food pantries and shelters each week.
Whatever our garden grows, we donate to charities in our area so it reaches the people who need it most.
We take in animals who have nowhere else to go: surrendered, retired, injured, or simply unwanted. Once they're here, they're family.
Our no-kill promise: no animal at Darby's Farm is ever sold for meat or put down for convenience. Everyone here gets to grow old with us.
Whether you'd like to partner with us, lend a hand, or support the animals, we'd love to hear from you.
