Good news! Jon Stewart and his wife Tracey have finally received approval to open their planned 45 acre sanctuary for abused animals in Colts Neck, NJ. In October of 2016 the Stewart’s purchased Hockhockson Farm with plans to create their sanctuary and just received approval to do so this January. The animal sanctuary is scheduled to be open to the public sometime next year.

Jon Stewart: “having our farm with sheep & goats & pigs & they’re all rescues is like having a nursing home. You can’t believe the fragility of factory farmed animals… the health of these animals that are in our food supply… the mainstay of our food supply, is really suspect” pic.twitter.com/p7rKhG3VxV

The location will be a partnership with Farm Sanctuary and their three related sites in New York and California. The first rescues were a pair of pigs but they have now been joined by goats, chicken, cows, and sheep.
