The Farm
A classroom of soil, sunlight, and second chances.
Overview
A bold reimagining of farm life through the lens of compassion, sustainability, and food justice. This living center weaves together regenerative agriculture, rescued animals, forward thinking food systems, and global fermentation traditions. Designed as both a sanctuary and a hands-on education space, The Farm invites visitors to explore ethical, climate-resilient alternatives to industrial agriculture—while providing forever homes for farmed animals. No animals are bred, exploited, or handled by the public.
Why This Matters
Industrial agriculture is one of the leading drivers of climate change, biodiversity loss, and animal suffering. The Farm offers a living alternative—where animals are seen as individuals, food is grown with care, and communities are nourished through empathy and education.
