Our Mission, Vision & Values
Mission
Darrowby Farm Sanctuary rescues and provides a safe and lifelong home for neglected, abused, or abandoned farm animals, and educates people about living a mutually beneficial life with those animals that does not use them for food or forced labor. By providing a sanctuary for animals, educational opportunities for all ages, and support for those looking to make ethical choices, we strive to reduce suffering and create a more compassionate world.
Vision
We envision a world in which all living beings are treated with respect and care, and in which humans interact with animals in ways that work to alleviate suffering. We see farmed animals as deserving of long lives alongside humans in symbiotic relationships that honor the connection between people, animals, and the land.
Values
Care
In caring for the animals, people, and the land, we create an environment that alleviates suffering, and promotes peaceful systems of living.
