Once upon a time, Northeast Ohio was once largely farmland. While much of it has disappeared due to urbanization and further expansion, farming is still a huge part of life here in Greater Cleveland, whether we realize it or not. There has recently been a push toward supporting farmers by purchasing locally grown produce, and that is most definitely a leap in the right direction. But what about the farm animals? While most of them live peaceful lives on the farm, an unfortunate few face mistreatment or abandonment; however, there’s a farm sanctuary in Ravenna that is out to make sure that these animals are rescued and rehabilitated – and they welcome visitors to come to see them!
