Education & Advocacy

Educational Tours

Come to Herd and Flock and meet our animals - cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits - survivors of neglect and abuse, these animals are ambassadors, representing the billions more like them currently suffering in an inhumane food system.


As you interact with our animal residents during the tour, you will learn about factory farm practices and discover the animals’ will to live, their sentience, their awe-inspiring resilience, and their unending ability to love and forgive.

This is the power of sanctuary.

LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet)

LEAP is a revolutionary humane education program providing high school aged students across the nation with a compassionate alternative to traditional agriculture programs like 4H and FFA.

A comprehensive 4-year program taught by participating farm animal sanctuaries, LEAP combines interactive curriculum modules with hands-on learning activities, leadership training, and real-world skill development. LEAP aims to prepare the next generation of change makers to tackle the challenges of animal cruelty, climate change, food deserts, and habitat loss, and encourages them to devise solutions for a more compassionate, sustainable food system.
