If we see animals as products and commodities, then ultimately, we'll see human beings in the same way.

WHAT WE DO ... BECAUSE OF YOU
Compassionate Care
Sustainable Stewardship
Compassionate Care
Mental Health Too means having support systems that encourage nurturing connections that promote socialization and cooperation through emotional enrichment, increasing overall happiness and well-being, and preventing depression, reducing stress, and aggression, by fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Shelter Diversion
Sustainable Stewardship
Compassionate Care
As a Safety-Net Sanctuary, we take Residents when no one else can or will. There are so many to save that we need to mitigate intakes or face overload. Placing rescues before they leave the shelter, and often during transport, allows us to actively save thousands of lives that would otherwise be euthanized to make room.
Advocating Veganism
Sustainable Stewardship
Sustainable Stewardship
Vegan Principles promulgate Compassion with subtlety. Whether someone starts small or jumps in with both feet…thay will need support. We advocate for the animals by advocating for everyone that joins the journey to a cruelty-free lifestyle; example is the highest form of advocacy.

OUR MISSION:COMPASSION
Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn, a recognized 501(c)(3) Farmed-Animal Sanctuary, has evolved beyond traditional sanctuary, securing new pastures in animal welfare, community engagement, and ethical advocacy. While we remain steadfast in our commitment to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing sanctuary for abused, neglected, and abandoned animals, we now pioneer a unique model of participatory governance, inviting supporters to actively shape our mission through various Boards of Directors. Our approach intertwines compassionate animal care with innovative funding strategies, cruelty-controlled practices, and a dynamic educational platform. We offer comprehensive advocacy training, hands-on animal care experiences, and community-driven workshops, all designed to deepen the understanding and practice of sustainable stewardship and cruelty-free living. Engaging diverse groups, from scouts and students to individuals with special needs, we are not just a sanctuary but a hub of learning and transformation, empowering individuals and communities to embrace sustainable life skills, advocate effectively for animal welfare, and become active environmental stewards in this increasingly interconnected world.
Compassionate Care: At the heart of our sanctuary is our dedication to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to our residents. This includes ensuring optimal nutrition, essential veterinary care, mental and emotional enrichment, and facilitating social bonds within their respective animal communities.
Shelter Diversion: Our rescue mission is focused on saving farmed animals from shelters, where their chances of adoption are often slim. When intervening before euthanasia becomes a possibility, we strive to re-home these animals or offer them a permanent sanctuary, embodying our commitment to their welfare.
Advocating Veganism: Our sanctuary doesn’t just advocate for a plant-based lifestyle; we live it. When embracing vegan principles, we make a compassionate choice for animals, setting an aspirational standard for others to follow.
Sustainable Stewardship: Our commitment to sustainability extends to all aspects of our operations. We continuously seek innovative practices in waste management, water and energy conservation, nurturing soil health, and closed-loop farming. Our goal is to create a balance that honors animal welfare, preserves the environment, and educates the community, ensuring a lasting and positive impact.
Steampunk Farms aspires to foster compassion by establishing itself as the foremost developer of compassionate curricula, instructional content, and educational resources within and beyond the rescue community. Our dedication to optimizing shelter rescue protocols involves the creation of user-friendly, cloud-protected platforms that simplify the process of connecting at-risk animals with suitable homes. Our vision encompasses the development of a versatile, eco-integrated, rescue-sanctuary model based on resilient sustainability strategies that enhance resident care in the face of market fluctuations. Our vision also encompasses immersive educational experiences, offering visitors and program participants a comprehensive understanding of our environment and their places in it, while continuously developing pasturing capabilities and sustainable land management practices.
Cultivate Compassion: Position Steampunk Farms to become the leading developer of compassionate curricula, instructional content, and other educational resources within and beyond the rescue community.
Optimize Shelter Rescue Protocols: Develop a user-friendly, cloud-based platform that simplifies the process of matching vulnerable shelter animals with loving homes. This platform should integrate a network of pre-screened transportation providers and appropriately-vetted hosts. Moreover, utilizing advanced technology to automatically send all essential documentation and procedures to participant devices, ensuring safe rides and successful adoptions.
Blueprint for Sustainable Stewardship: Develop a versatile and Eco-Sustainable Rescue Sanctuary Model that other rescue/sanctuaries can easily implement, empowering them to optimize expenditures through environmentally-responsible practices, including efficient fodder cultivation, effective pasturing techniques, and more.
Innovate Resilient Sustainability Strategies: Implement sustainable management strategies to enhance the quality of resident care and feeding, while increasing resilience against market fluctuations by leveraging cultivation practices, bulk discounts, fixed pricing, and contractual delivery agreements.
Immersive Educational Experiences: We are dedicated to offering immersive educational experiences that integrate compassionate curricula with sustainability education. Our approach incorporates local history, geology, watersheds, and the influence of weather on Earth to provide a well-rounded understanding of our environment, which is a key component to connecting compassionate curricula to our individual place on the planet.
Sustainable Growth and Development: Pursue a vision that includes the continuous expansion of pasturing capabilities by acquiring neighboring land parcels, thereby supporting the well-being of our residents through increased access to diverse and nutritious food sources while promoting sustainable land management practices.
