Herd and Flock Animal Sanctuary

Herd & Flock Animal Sanctuary rescues and provides homes to neglected and abused farm animals. Since we began in 2019, we have saved over 968 animals by providing them life-saving temporary or permanent homes. We run tours and host volunteer events to facilitate relationships between members of the community and our farm animal residents. Our animals serve as ambassadors, teaching community members about the richness and complexity of their lives. When people spend time with the animals and learn about the horrors of factory farming, many question their own consumption of meat and dairy products.

Any resulting increase in plant-based eating not only benefits farm animals, but also, on a larger scale, benefits the environment by limiting the number of forests that are cleared for agriculture. Animal agriculture is a major contributor to global warming and reducing consumption of animal products is one thing each person can do that can really make a difference. Plant based eating also has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some mental health illnesses.
