Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of Galway, the rolling green pastures of Strawberry Hedgehog’s 150-acre farm are home to more than 60 rescued cows, pigs, turkeys, and other farm/domestic animals — 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.

During your visit to our farm, you can take an hour-long tour of the shelter with one of our tour guides, meeting our rescued residents along the way! After meeting our farm animal friends, visit our Sanctuary Shop, which contains literature, cookbooks, apparel, and other souvenirs - maybe even book some classes while you are at it.

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

Like the idea of spending time outside, gathering with like-minded people for a worthy cause, and hanging out with lovable farm animals all in the same day? Sign up for a Volunteer Work Party at Farm Sanctuary’s New York or California Shelters!

The Farm Sanctuary Volunteer Work Party provides compassionate folks with a fun, positive opportunity to meet new friends, pitch in with chores and projects, spend time with rescued farm animals, and learn more about our sanctuaries and efforts to protect animals from abuse.
