Celebrating 10 years!

We're celebrating our 10th birthday. And you!

2024 marks a significant milestone as we celebrate our ten years of sanctuary, rescue and care.

Animal Sanctuary

Our Mission at where pigs fly

Worldwide, millions of farm animals endure lives of confinement and suffering, often hidden from view. At Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary, we’re working to change their story.

We believe every animal deserves compassion and respect. Through our rescue and care efforts, we provide a safe haven for animals who need it most. But our mission goes further – we’re committed to education, opening minds to the lives of farmed animals and inspiring choices that bring compassion into daily life. Together, we can create a world where all animals are valued and protected. A kinder, just world for all.

What We Do

Animal Rescue

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

Education

Our educational programmes inspire both compassion and understanding of the sentience and plight of farm animals and the ease and joy of plant-based living. These include tours, school classes, special events, volunteer days and community outreach, as well as online education that reaches a global audience.
