Harmony farm sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates farmed animals, fosters a compassionate and inclusive community, and advocates for the humane treatment of animals, recognizing them as sentient beings who deserve kindness and respect.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2025, harmony farm sanctuary made significant strides in our mission to protect and advocate for farmed animals. We partnered with the local sheriff's department in the rescue of 47 animals from neglect, placing 22 in our sanctuary and securing safe homes for the others. Our compassionate curriculum ran throughout the 20242025 school year, engaging approximately 50 youth each weekincluding at-risk teens and individuals with developmental disabilitiesoffering meaningful connection, education, and healing through the power of animals. With the help of 60 dedicated volunteers supporting care shifts twice daily, we ensured exceptional, individualized care for our 155 rescued residents. We proudly achieved accreditation from the global federation of animal sanctuaries, a testament to our high standards of care and operations. We also hosted educational tours and community events, continuing to grow awareness of the sentience of farmed animals and the importance of compassion for all.
