Every animal is someone, not something. By choosing more plant-based meals, you can help reduce the demand for meat, dairy, eggs, and other animal products, sparing animals from suffering and creating a kinder world one meal at a time.
Humans can get all the nutrients they need from a well-planned plant-based diet. According to the American Dietetics Association, appropriately planned vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
Does switching to a plant-based diet seem like a daunting goal? Try doing it in several steps. The journey to a plant-based diet is not about giving up animal products, it’s about crowding them out. Start by making plants the center of your plate and trying as many new foods as possible. Every time you discover a new vegan food that you love, the animal-based foods you grew up eating get pushed further to the margins.

You won’t miss out on your favorite nostalgic dishes though – just about every dish can be made plant-based. Before long, you’ll see all of the positive changes that plant-based eating can bring!

Our pigs are social media stars, so they get lots of emails.⁠
However, they are big fans of using the "Out of Office" function for those emails. If you want to reach them, it would be best to meet them in person. ⁠
⁠
You can do that by booking a tour of Charlie's Acres or by coming to our Halloween event. Both of which can be booked through the link in the bio or by going to charliesacres.org/visit⁠

These are our 4 turkey residents: Franklin, Sapphire, Tim, and Mei Li. ⁠
⁠
They are all now elderly turkeys, meaning they are in the incredibly small minority of domesticated turkeys who get the chance to grow old. Here at Charlie's Acres, they get to live a full life surrounded by friends and companions, with plenty of space to explore, rest, and simply be themselves.⁠
⁠
Their lives look very different from the 46 million turkeys who are about to lose their lives for the holiday season. Our four were simply lucky enough to be spared that fate.⁠
⁠
It doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to eat turkeys just like we don't have to consume any other animal to live and thrive. If you feel the same or are trying to learn about a more compassionate way of living, consider making the commitment to keep Turkeys off your plate this upcoming holiday season. ⁠
All Turkey's will thank you. ⁠

Today is Punky's 10 year adoptiversary!
She is our second ever rescue and the first to reach 10 years at our sanctuary. It is difficult to describe how big of a milestone this is for Punky.
She is a pig that was born on a small farm where pigs like her were destined to be slaughtered at a young age. She was only able to be rescued by a good samaritan due to being the runt of the litter and hence considered less "valuable". Once at our sanctuary, she was able to grow, she made friends, and was given the life all pigs deserve. Now she is our oldest pig at 10 years of age which is a miracle in and of itself considering the health challenges farmed pigs face due to being bred to grow unnaturally large.
Despite all this, Punky was lucky enough to grow old in the love and safety of Charlie's Acres.

So let's raise a toast 🥂 to Punky and wish her a happy adoptiversary and hopefully many more years at Charlie's Acres. After all, it is only thanks to your support that this life for Punky was possible.
We are eternally grateful.

Our new rooster rescues are still in quarantine but they just got their first vet visit and the news is good.⁠
No serious health issues, just a small mites infestation on our skinny boys legs that will clear up with medication. Also his injured eye doesn't seem to be bothering him and does not require surgery! What a great start to their new sanctuary life. ⁠
⁠
It is only thanks to our supporters that we can provide this quality of care to all our animal residents. Help us continue this work by going to the link in the bio to see all the ways to support our mission. Thank you.⁠

Sitting down in our potbelly pig barn can be risky. ⁠
Many pigs might surround you and demand love and affection in the form of belly rubs and pets. It is not for the faint of heart. ⁠

Our pig fosters are back!⁠
Rescue and foster care is a cornerstone of what we do here at Charlie's Acres. It is only thanks to your support that Harry, Spot, Pinky, and Pepper are able to get vet care for the first time in their lives. Now that they are back and feeling more comfortable they can truly see what sanctuary has to offer.⁠
