The Sanctuaries

Have you ever given a pig a belly rub, talked to a turkey, or kissed a cow? The animals at Farm Sanctuary love visitors as much as you will love our unique shelters.

Our Shelter Locations
Farm Sanctuary operates three shelters — a 175-acre farm in upstate New York, a 300-acre farm in Northern California, and Farm Sanctuary’s Animal Acres, a 26-acre shelter in Southern California. Our shelters rescue, rehabilitate, and provide lifelong care for hundreds of animals who have been rescued from stockyards, factory farms, and slaughterhouses. Here, the animals are given the care and love they need to recover from a lifetime of abuse and neglect. All of the animals have nourishing food; spacious, clean barns; and acres of green pastures.

Visit Farm Sanctuary
When you visit Farm Sanctuary, you’ll see frolicking calves who once knew only pain and suffering in veal crates. You’ll see pigs slumbering in soft straw rather than lying in filthy, crowded stockyard pens. You’ll see animals who are experiencing joy and freedom for the first time in their lives.

Our shelters offer tours, overnight accommodations, retreats, and conferences.
