THE BARNYARD . . .
The Barnyard is a project of the Philanthropy Alliance Foundation situated on nearly 30 acres in Hattieville, AR. Our founder, Sherita J. Herring, relocated to the Natural State in 2017 after spending 30 years in Los Angeles, CA. Easily adapting, she has enthusiastically revived her ancestral land, which had remained dormant since her great-grandfather's passing in 1975.
With a barnyard crew of over 40 chickens, ducks, a guinea, two cats, five dogs, and a handsome horse named Hickory, not to mention our comical goats, Serena and Simone, this country sanctuary has several campsites and hosts various events such as youth, family, and couple painting experiences, along with family reunions, while also offering a free-range petting zoo experience.
Before relocating from her Beverly Hills office, Sherita applied her expertise as a business strategist to advance her clients’ goals, successfully raising over $30 million for global projects in 14 countries. Previously coaching numerous celebrities, community leaders, and entrepreneurs, she will leverage this extensive experience to further Barnyard projects, including Youth Camps, Executive, Women’s and Artist Retreats, Wellness Forums, and more.
