Vegan Farm Sanctuary in Half Moon Bay

Our Animal Ambassadors provoke meaningful experiences that inspire people to bring greater awareness and compassion to the ways they source, prepare, and eat food.

Each animal has a unique and special story – here are some of them. We invite you to get to know our Animal Ambassadors in person at Member Days. You can also support by sponsoring an animal to help cover the costs of food, bedding, medical care, and treats.

Creating a New Kind of Sanctuary

Sweet Farm is the first non-profit sanctuary in the world to address the global climate impacts of factory farming across animals, the plants, and the planet. Our food web is incredibly complicated and it’s impossible to move forward without first understanding how these pieces are connected.

By linking climate education, veganic agriculture, farm-animal rescue, and the technology that is sustainably disrupting food and agriculture production — Sweet Farm is redefining what it means to be a sanctuary. Welcome to our Climate Sanctuary.

150+ Farm Animals Saved

The stories of our animal ambassadors educate people on how the choices they make at each meal directly impact the lives of animals and the health of our planet. Our daily meal choices are an easy way to begin large scale, systemic change.

100+Types of veganic crops

Our agriculture program showcases the beauty of veganically grown, heirloom crops, showcasing a new way of growing that is compassionate, sustainable and scalable. To save the planet we have to change how we grow.

10M+ Dollars Raised For start-ups

Our technology program supports start-ups who are working to make our food system more compassionate and sustainable on a global scale.

Co-Founders

When a career change relocated Sweet Farm co-founders, Anna Sweet & Nate Salpeter, from Seattle to the Bay Area – they fulfilled their dream of buying land and dedicating it to the pursuit of ending inhumane factory farming practices. Both long time animal advocates and volunteers at local rescues, they wanted to find a way to maximize their impact and educate people on how to live more humane and sustainable lives. The couple still works full time in tech, but dedicates evenings and weekends to working with the animals of Sweet Farm and helping spread our message.

We honor the well-being of our planet and all creatures on it, be it four-legged, feathered, or human.

We encourage understanding what effects our daily food decisions have on animals and our environment.

We champion progress over perfection and honor small changes that lead to big impact.

Impact-Focused Programs

Every choice we make at Sweet Farm is centered around maximizing impact. With our centralized location in the tech hub that is the San Francisco Bay Area, we are working to inspire change in the hearts and minds of all individuals, from local families and farmers, to CEOs and investors. FARM ANIMAL RESCUE AND REHABILITATION

We rescue and rehabilitate farm animals from various circumstances within the food system. These animal ambassadors spread the message that they deserve our compassion and respect, and help educate farm visitors around issues related to animal welfare, factory farming, and sustainability.

SUSTAINABLE, VEGANIC AGRICULTURE

Sweet Farm offers hands-on agriculture-based programs to inspire people to bring greater compassion to how they source, prepare, and eat food. We celebrate biodiversity, growing heirloom, open-pollinated seeds using veganic, sustainable methods.

PLANT-BASED LIVING

Our educational programs promote the ease and joy of plant-based living. These include on-the-farm classes and events, tours, volunteer days, and community outreach, as well as online education and advocacy that reaches a global audience.

TECHNOLOGY START-UP INCUBATION

We partner with innovative start-ups in the food, agriculture, sustainability and climate technology sectors to provide them with a diverse range of support, including access to funding, expanded networking, mentorship, product showcases and promotion. We believe innovation is the key to true, global change.
