Our Mission
The Haven at Skanda is a nonprofit farm that takes in rescued
farm animals from all over the country and helps them heal from abuse
and neglect – helping them get physically well, and helping them to
relax, feel safe, and emerge as who they really are. We also support
several families of endangered breeds. The animals are beautifully
able to let go of trauma and live in the present moment as their pure,
innocent, loving selves. In this way, they become loving role models,
showing us what is possible. Skanda believes we have much to learn
from animals, and offers programs that offer people the chance to
experience the animals and discover love, hope, and possibilities.
The Haven at Skanda is deeply invested in supporting children and
young people as they connect with animals, nature, and community and
become responsible stewards and visionary leaders.
Girl Scout Levels: Daisy – Ambassador (within Girl Scout

- Cleaning the duck and chicken houses
- Tending to Skanda’s Vegetable Garden for the Animals (summer)
