Gene Baur

Co-founder Gene Baur shares the story of Farm Sanctuary, from its grassroots beginnings in 1986 to its work raising awareness about factory farming, rescuing animals, providing education, and advocating for legal protections. His book, Farm Sanctuary: The Story of a Movement, looks back on the organization’s history through photographs, personal reflections, and commentary on changes in animal agriculture, and invites readers to consider their choices and the pursuit of more humane and sustainable food systems.
