Blue Arrow Farm is a non-profit animal rescue sanctuary, agritourism farm, and an INDOOR and OUTDOOR entertainment venue that hosts public and private events all year! We're here to help make your event perfect from start to finish. Enjoy the artistic beauty of Blue Arrow and mosey through the sunflower mazes and butterfly sanctuary as you and your children marvel at the life-sized dinosaurs and ride the Blue Arrow Express train around our half-mile track! The ambiance of the farm and the numerous varieties of trees and flowers enliven your senses. While you're there, don’t forget to take pictures of our herd of rescued horses, all being pampered and watched over by our magnificent staff of horse experts. Our nature trail and children’s story time will put a smile on everyone of every age. Blue Arrow is the brainchild of Don Oriolo, a lifelong animal activist. When the overgrown, falling down farm came up for sale, Don made a commitment to buy it and bring it back to its one-time glory of the winter headquarters for the Meadowlands racehorses — the difference being that Don’s mission was to create a loving, safe environment for the horses (and every other animal for that matter) that need rescuing from ofttimes deplorable conditions. Don took this on using he own personal resources. Horses, alpaca, cows, sheep, goats, mules, chickens, ducks, and pigs who were tossed away, being sent to slaughter, were all rescued and given sanctuary by Don and his amazing staff. Don also spearheaded the biggest cat rescue of over 200 cats recorded in the history of the northeast, contracting a chronic airborne illness in the process. Blue Arrow Farm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). "Whoever is righteous has regard for the needs of their animals":
As we all know, the pandemic has taken its toll on businesses everywhere. Sadly, animals don’t know about economics, shortages, or lack of business. They need to eat, range, and be sheltered. This is what I continue to do at Blue Arrow! Everything you can imagine, from hay, to grain, medicine, vets, electric, and so on has inflated out of control. We are planning on having a benefit once a month at Blue Arrow with all proceeds going to the welfare of the horses, cows, alpaca, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, pigs, etc. Of course there will be entertainment and refreshments, and the personal touch of the Blue Arrow staff that everyone has come to love will still be front and center. We hope you will support our cause. Information will be listed on our website and social media. Thank you so much for your participation!
