At Farm Sanctuary, Mother’s Day is a celebration of survival and renewal. Join us with a gift to honor Olive goat and her daughter Maggie; Amari sheep and her twins Laura and Bailey; or Hayes, an orphaned steer who found a second family at our New York shelter.

Have you ever sat down and just watched chickens? Many people are so used to the word “chicken” only being applied to a “processed food” that seeing them alive is surprising. But it doesn’t take long to make the connection: Each is an individual with their own personality. National Poultry Day, March 19th, was originally set aside as yet another opportunity to exploit these sentient, sensitive animals. But today—like every day at Farm Sanctuary—we celebrate chickens and their right to lives of their own.

The backyard chicken industry is not an alternative to factory farming: it’s part of it. When you buy chicks online, from catalogs, or at feed stores, you’re supporting the very same types of facilities that supply large egg producers.

abillion and Vegan Women Summit celebrate International Women’s Day by announcing a new women-led beneficiary, Farm Sanctuary, America’s first farm animal Sanctuary and advocacy organization.
