Where COMPASSION meets action.

DONATE TO SUPPORT

At Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary, we’re on a mission to create a kinder world for animals, humans, and the planet. Our sanctuary and community farm in Waverly, New York, is a safe haven where rescue, restoration, and reconnection thrive. Together, we can change lives and make the world a more compassionate place for all.


PROBLEM

Animal exploitation, environmental degradation, and the lack of inclusive, safe spaces are pressing issues that impact our communities and planet. Each year, countless animals suffer in inhumane conditions, ecosystems are strained under unsustainable practices, and marginalized groups face systemic barriers to equity and safety. This cycle of harm affects us all, creating a world where compassion, sustainability, and inclusivity are overshadowed by neglect and oppression.

SOLUTION

Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary provides a beacon of hope and action. Situated in Waverly, New York, our sanctuary rescues abused and neglected animals, providing them with loving, lifelong homes. Through vegan and regenerative agriculture, we cultivate sustainable food systems that heal the planet while feeding our food desert community. As an LGBTQ-founded and -led sanctuary, we’ve built a safe, inclusive space where all beings—human and animal alike—are valued and protected. Together, we nurture a kinder, fairer world, inspiring visitors and supporters to join us in creating lasting change.

OUR PROGRAMS

  • SANCTUARY

    Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary offers a safe, loving forever home for farmed and companion animals rescued from neglect or abuse. Here, animals are treated not as commodities but as unique beings who deserve to live their full lives, unexploited for human gain. By supporting the sanctuary, you help us rewrite their stories and build a future rooted in kindness.

  • COMMUNITY FARM

    The community farm grows food directly from our rural community. Employing practices that respect the earth, we are able to distribute the absolute best, beyond-organic produce, plants, flowers, and more to our food desert community via our Free Farm Stand and satellite location. Everyone deserves healthy, fresh food access, and every day we show how that’s possible.

  • COMMUNITY PET CARE

    Through our Community Pet Care program, we provide essential support to local pet parents as well as those caring for feral colonies. We cover the cost of spays/neuters/vaccines when help is needed, and provide pet food through our Free Pet Pantry. Together, we help ensure that no family has to choose between feeding themselves or their beloved pets.
