Our Story

Eden’s Way Farm Sanctuary began as a dream for its found, Jaye Dueck, who has deeply cared for animals since her childhood growing up on a ranch in Northern Alberta. Although, life led her into a different world of city living, academia, and a career as a psychologist, her heart increasingly longed to return to a farm where she could establish an animal sanctuary.

In July 2019, this seemingly impossible dream came true,when she and her husband, Murray Dueck, purchased and moved to a beautiful 20-acre hobby farm nestled between the South Thompson-River and sage-filled hills in Kamloops, BC.

Within, their first week on the farm, they saved 2 horses and 2 dairy calves and since then have slowly grown, rescuing several farm animals from dairy cattle to rabbits. In September 2020, the sanctuary became a registered non-profit organization.

Since that time, the sanctuary has grown – both in rescuing more animals and developing educational programs and activities for the community. On February 2, 2022, Eden’s Way Farm Sanctuary was privileged to receive designation as a Registered Charitable Organization in Canada.
