Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn Inc.

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.

Goal One: Optimization of our core program services in sanctuary care and feeding, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education.

Goal Two: Goals are best achieved when they are coordinated to do so; following our primary goal, our secondary goal is to optimize our program services infrastructure.

Goal Three: Following optimization of core programs and infrastructure services delivery, we are focused on expanding pasture areas to improve natural foraging behaviors and increase our self sustaining capacity.
