Freedom Farm Sanctuary is an educational center and a sanctuary for animals rescued from the food industries. How we got our name?
(809)

This non-profit organisation strives to lead a kinder and more compassionate world for animals, human beings, and our planet. You are all welcome to take part in this process of making big dreams become reality for the first Israeli farm animal sanctuary and education center: Voice your opinion, raise suggestions, show your support via 'like' and 'share' on FB and experience with us the realization of this dream. The Freedom Sanctuary serves as a shelter for rescued animals from the meat and dairy industry, and provides an opportunity for a comfortable, free, compassionate and respected life. The farm is "heaven on earth" and provides an opportunity for individuals, groups, and families to be acquainted with the animals from the industrial farms as creatures with character, emotions and social structure. The farm grants the opportunity to approach and spend time with the animals, listen to lectures, participate in workshops, and witness the mighty and grating differences between these animals and their ill-fated brothers. By doing so this will hopefully unlock years of the heart caging approach towards our life companions on this planet, and also deepen our understanding of the long term ecological damage that is in our power to avoid, as well as the tremendous bonus to our own well being, and to the distant contribution to the effort against the famine mortality in developing countries. FREEDOM is the first calf rescued from the meat and dairy industry in Israel. FREEDOM was born as a cripple in the dairy barn- and therefore his fate was instant slaughter. Omri Zvi, who knew the farmer, begged for his life and the opportunity to rehabilitate him. After a short rehabilitation period FREEDOM managed to stand on his feet and enjoy his first experience of living freely. The Freedom Farm Sanctuary's name was inspired by FREEDOM's rescue story. This farm is a non-profit organization. Like our page, follow our progress, come visit our farm and meet our beautiful animals!

A week ago, Tamir was rushed to the hospital with a severe, life-threatening urinary blockage.

After emergency surgery and a week in the hospital, he’s eating, active, and feeling much better. Yesterday, he finally returned home to the sanctuary and the friends he loves! ❤️

Tamir still has a long way to go. The vets drained his urine and inserted a catheter, but the stone causing the blockage couldn’t be removed due to severe bladder damage. For the next two weeks, he’ll receive medication to try to dissolve it, and we’re hoping he won’t need another surgery.

Meanwhile, the cost of his treatment keeps rising, just as we’re raising funds to prepare Freedom Farm Sanctuary for winter. We need to repair fences and reinforce shelters before the rains arrive.

We’re doing everything we can to care for Tamir while preparing the sanctuary for winter. Your donation to our winter campaign can help us make both possible 💚

Thank you for all the love and support. We hope to share good news soon! 💚

Please share this video - we need to reach as many people as possible!

Winter is just around the corner, and we have less than two weeks left to raise the funds we need to prepare Freedom Farm Sanctuary for the rains ahead.

Last winter, flooding caused serious damage across the sanctuary. Fences were broken, roofs and shelters were damaged, and some areas became unusable. For our residents, especially those with disabilities or mobility challenges, proper shelter and safe, accessible spaces can make all the difference during the winter months.

We need to finish the work before the rains begin - because once the ground is soaked and the storms arrive, much of this work simply can’t be done.

Every donation brings us one step closer to having the sanctuary ready 💚

38 chickens were rescued from the Kapparot tradition and brought to Freedom Farm Sanctuary, where they can finally begin a new life filled with safety, care, and freedom.

Now, we want to give each of them something special - a name!

By suggesting a name, you can help us see each chicken as an individual, with a story of their own💚

A heartbreaking goodbye to our Tamar 💔

A little over a week ago, Tamar collapsed. Since then, we’ve done everything we could to save her.

After consulting with several veterinarians and specialists, we learned that Tamar had suffered a severe neurological injury, likely caused by a bull attempting to mount her. Sadly, there was no realistic chance she would ever stand again, and continuing treatment would only prolong her suffering.

Today, we made the heartbreaking decision to help Tamar pass peacefully, surrounded by people who loved her.

Tamar came to us as a tiny calf. We initially bottle-fed her until she met Ruthie, an older cow who adopted her, nursed her, and raised her as her own. Their beautiful story touched millions around the world.

When Ruthie passed away last year, other cows gathered around Tamar, licking her and staying by her side.

Tamar was small but full of personality. Independent, opinionated, and never afraid to express herself, sometimes with a headbutt. She taught us so much about trust, patience, and respecting boundaries.

We’re deeply grateful to our incredible team, who cared for her around the clock, and to everyone who followed her story and sent their love.

Tamar, we’re so sorry we couldn’t save you. We really tried everything.

Thank you for letting us be part of your life. We hope you’re somewhere with endless green fields, reunited with Ruthie.

We loved you so much 💔

Tomorrow, we’ll return to caring for the hundreds of animals who depend on us. But today, we’re just missing you.

Adit and Meital,
Founders of Freedom Farm Sanctuary

We don’t show our faces around here very often! We’re Adit and Meital, the founders of Freedom Farm Sanctuary - and today, we’re celebrating 10 years of Freedom Farm Sanctuary! 🥹💚

What can we say other than thank you?

Over the past decade, an incredible community has grown around the sanctuary - people who support us, volunteer, donate, follow, share, and send so much love to our residents and our team.

So thank you. Thank you for being part of this journey, for believing in what we do, and for helping us continue to grow and make a difference.

We hope you’ll be here with us for the next decade too. And hopefully, ten years from now, we’ll look back and see just how far we’ve come - all the way to a day when sanctuaries like ours are no longer needed, because all animals are free 💚

Dear friends,
We want to update you that Tamar the cow has been in critical condition since yesterday 💔

Tamar is normally a healthy cow with no known medical issues. Yesterday, she suddenly became unwell and her legs gave out. Since then, she has been unable to stand.

We immediately activated our emergency protocol, provided her with initial treatment, and called a veterinarian to examine her. We are currently investigating every possible cause of her sudden collapse.

When a cow suddenly collapses and cannot get back on her feet, it is a serious medical emergency that can become life-threatening. We are monitoring Tamar around the clock and doing everything we can to help her recover.

Throughout the night, we were especially moved by Angela, Tamar’s best friend, who came to stay by her side until morning. Cows love to sleep together, and Angela noticed that Tamar wasn’t there with the rest of the cow family. She understood that something was wrong and chose to stay with her 💚

We are hoping with all our hearts that Tamar will regain her strength and recover soon. We are doing everything we can for her ❤️

Tamar’s treatment also comes with unexpected medical expenses. Veterinary visits, IV fluids, and additional treatments can cost hundreds and thousands of dollars.

Any donation will help us continue providing Tamar with the care she needs 💚

We will keep you updated as we learn more.
Thank you for being here for Tamar and for supporting us.

40 new chickens have arrived at our sanctuary 💚

They arrived in very poor condition, and we will do everything we can to help them recover. For them, so many simple things are about to happen for the very first time.

For the first time, they’ll be able to stretch their wings without being crowded, take dust baths, meet new friends, explore their surroundings, rest whenever they feel like it, and be free ❤️

Their rehabilitation begins now. We’ll be by their side, get to know each and every one of them, care for them, and give them all the time they need to grow stronger and adjust to their new lives.

Would you like to help us care for and rehabilitate our 40 new residents?
