Dear John,

Traditions are important. Traditions root us, especially in times of uncertainty.

But sometimes they’re based on outdated ways of being, which no longer serve us or our planet.

Eating turkey is one of those things. It’s just one aspect of Thanksgiving that’s based on an incomplete narrative. And leaving turkey off our tables this year is one way to create the change we want to see in the world.

This year, Alicia Silverstone and her son Bear are leaving turkey off the table, and adopting one instead.

Join Alicia and Bear, adopt a turkey today!

When you symbolically adopt one of our rescued turkeys, with a one-time $35 gift, you enable much needed medical care, nutritious food, and safe pastures to industry survivors.

As a thank you, you’ll receive a certificate with a photo and biography of your new turkey friend as well as a one-year subscription to our biannual print magazine Sanctuary.

This year, we’re highlighting five members of our flock: Tutu, Jackie, Ferris, Venus, and Sandy. Some miraculously survived factory farms. Others suffered abuse at feed stores and backyard owners. Their stories are diverse. But their endings are the same: they’re all safe, healthy, and healed at Farm Sanctuary.

And it’s only possible because of supporters like you.

Adopt a turkey for a one-time donation of $35.

Want to do more? For $150, adopt our whole flock.

As always, we remain grateful for our community, and thank you for being a part of it.
