At Farm Sanctuary, where turkeys live in peace, we are lucky enough to get to see their personalities unfold and witness the capabilities of their impressive minds. Meanwhile, the world of science is also learning more about these animals often mistakenly viewed as unintelligent.
Just before Thanksgiving, we welcomed Trudy to her forever home. This sweet turkey had a scary start — recently surviving a predator attack. After realizing Trudy wouldn't be safe at her New Jersey home, her caretaker called us and we were grateful to step in.
This time of year brings vibrant leaves, cozy sweaters, and lots of seasonal treats. Our pigs residents love pumpkins — and so do we! That's why Farm Sanctuary's Chef Gail Patak whipped up this delicious recipe topped with toasted pine nuts.
On November 16, our humane educators will present a turkey-themed webinar for K-4 students. Animal Tales: Meet the Turkey Flock is a chance for kids to learn all about the turkeys at sanctuary. Teachers and parents can register to attend or receive the event recording!
Last month, workers and advocates protested Tyson Foods for unjust working conditions and called for an end to child labor in the U.S. meat industry. Learn what’s happening and how we’re working to “Build the Good” — just, sustainable, plant-based food systems.
This dark chocolate bark is full of marshmallows and organic puffed rice. It'll pair perfectly with your holiday spread or that cozy cup of tea. When you treat yourself, you also "treat" rescued farm animals to a life at sanctuary.
Tragically, 46 million U.S. turkeys will be killed for the Thanksgiving season.
Most of these birds are raised on factory farms and will never know an ounce of freedom — walk on grass or see the sky.
Through our Adopt a Turkey Project, you can help create a kinder future for turkeys everywhere.
With a one-time gift of $35, you can symbolically adopt one of our rescued turkeys, sponsoring their daily care and strengthening our critical work to reform our modern food system — for animals, people, and the planet.
In gratitude, we’ll send you an adoption certificate — your choice of digital or print (shown below) — featuring photos of your new turkey friend.
Give turkeys a reason to be thankful this year. Adopt today!
Farm Sanctuary fights the disastrous effects of animal agriculture on animals, the environment, social justice, and public health through rescue, education, and advocacy.
