Mission:
Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary (WFAS) is a
shelter that provides care, rehabilitation, and
sanctuary for neglected, abused and discarded farm
animals. Our purpose is to promote farm animal
welfare and educate the public about how animals
are treated to become our food.
Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains in the famous
town of Woodstock, New York, WFAS takes in
"food-production animals" such as cows, pigs,
chickens, turkeys, sheep, and goats. They are
mostly rescued from factory farms, stockyards and
negligent farmers. It will be a place where people
can come face to face with these animals that most
only know as "dinner" and learn about the
devastating effects of modern-day agribusiness on
the animals, the environment and our health.
