Farm Sanctuary continues our work in a diverse coalition of organizations officially endorsing the Farm System Reform Act (FSRA) (HR 797 / S 271). This common-sense legislation restricts the expansion and abuses of factory farms, which have been proven to harm animals, communities, and the environment.

Every February, we think fondly of our groundhog friends still hibernating underground. And there's no need to rouse “Punxsutawney Phil” to check his shadow—groundhogs reemerge on their own. At Sanctuary, we do our best to live in harmony with wildlife—after all, this land is their land, too. Check here for cute photos of some of the friends who also call Farm Sanctuary home!

In 2022, we said goodbye to some of our best friends — pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, ducks, geese, and a llama at the heart of our lifesaving work.

Farm Sanctuary counts on friends like you to move our mission forward. Whether you’ve been a long-time supporter or just began following our work this year, we’re grateful for your partnership in building a more just and compassionate world.

Earlier this year, Dan, a former beef farmer, asked Farm Sanctuary to help rehome his herd. Impressed by the cows' intelligence, Dan began to reconsider his relationship with them. Ultimately, he decided he could not, in good faith, send thinking, feeling beings to their deaths.

Greg’s guardians loved him so much that they chose to say goodbye to give him a better life.

Whether part of an autumnal feast or a staple in an everyday diet, potatoes offer a lot of nutrients and versatility.
