Calling
All Activists!
Farm Sanctuary is pleased to present the Farmer Brown Speaking Tour. Activists are encouraged to organize a speaking engagement in your hometown through a community library, animal protection or vegetarian group, place of worship, environmental organization, 4-H club, or other civic group. Help raise awareness about “food” animal issues by scheduling a talk today!
Harold Brown was raised on a cattle farm in Michigan and spent half of his life in agriculture. As Outreach Coordinator for Farm Sanctuary, Harold coordinates a campaign to encourage farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices, and he hosts the AskFarmerBrown.org website. He also appears in Tribe of Heart's documentary, Peaceable Kingdom, where he tells the powerful story of his transformation from “beef” farmer to vegan farm animal advocate.
