Farm Sanctuary

Nestled in upstate New York, the rolling green pastures of our 275-acre Watkins Glen Sanctuary are home to more than 800 rescued farm animals.

Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York, the rolling green pastures of Farm Sanctuary‘s 275-acre New York shelter are home to more than 800 rescued cows, pigs, turkeys, and other farm animals ‚Äî and each has a special story. Their stories of struggle and survival, against all odds, give the public insight into the realities farm animals face in the modern food system, but also introduce us to inspiring individuals through their heartwarming tales.

Spend the day with us and take an hour-long guided tour, browse our unique gift shop, learn more about farm animals in our Visitor Center, or enjoy a snack on our scenic deck.

We are located next door to Sugar Hill State Forest, just west of Watkins Glen.

Every year, Farm Sanctuary staff members scour local eateries to find veg options for Sanctuary visitors (and ourselves). We take the guesswork out of vegan traveling and provide a comprehensive cruelty-free dining guide for Watkins Glen and surrounding areas.
