Cheri Ezell-Vandersluis and Jim Vandersluis, two former farmers whose stories are featured in Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home, are the founders of Maple Farm Sanctuary. In the film, they tell the touching story of how they once raised goats and cows for dairy production until their conscience demanded they forge a more authentic relationship with the animals they cared for.
Together, they embarked on the incredible journey of transforming their dairy farm into a sanctuary that now provides lifelong care and a loving environment for farm animals rescued from abuse and neglect. Cayce Mell and Jason Tracy of OohMahNee Sanctuary (also featured in the film) helped them make the challenging but rewarding transition. You can read more about Cheri and Jim's story here, and watch a preview of the film here.
On Sunday, Oct. 18th, from 1 to 5 PM, Maple Farm Sanctuary will hold its annual picnic fundraiser. Fellow film subject Harold Brown (former beef farmer and founder of FarmKind) will be one of the speakers. Cheri will also share the compelling story of how she and Jim abruptly ended their profitable, generations-long meat and dairy farming business to create a safe haven for animals.
