Dedicated to saving the lives of
at-risk animals
our mission
Sunny Green Acres Rescue & Education Farm is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating young people about our modern food system and promoting humane education. Our mission is to foster a more compassionate and sustainable society by empowering today’s students who will become the leaders of tomorrow.
Through our proactive approach, we cultivate compassion for animals while developing critical thinking skills related to the food system. We provide students with a comprehensive understanding of where their food comes from, how it is produced, and the impact it has on animals, the environment, and human health. By equipping them with this knowledge, we empower them to make informed choices and become agents of positive change.
Incorporating humane education into the curriculum has been proven to have numerous benefits. Studies show that it enhances academic performance by fostering engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By connecting academic concepts to real-world issues, we help students develop a deeper understanding of various subjects.
Humane education also plays a vital role in student health and development. It helps cultivate empathy, compassion, and a sense of responsibility towards all living beings. By instilling these values, we promote social-emotional well-being and encourage the growth of future leaders who prioritize ethical decision-making and social justice.
As a non-profit organization, our focus is on providing hands-on animal care, educational workshops, and community involvement opportunities. By offering these programs, we foster understanding, respect, and cooperation among individuals of all ages. We strive to demonstrate ecological sustainability, promote shelter diversion, and advocate for sustainable stewardship.
At Sunny Green Acres Rescue & Education Farm, we believe that by educating young hearts and minds about our food system and promoting empathy for animals, we are shaping compassionate and informed individuals who can create positive change in all spheres of public life. We are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of leaders who will drive sustainable practices, advocate for animal welfare, and work towards a more just and equitable world.

EXOTIC & WILD ANIMALS
Life changes for all of us and you never know if you may find yourself in a position where you need to place your animal or pet. If so, it does not necessarily mean you never should have gotten it or that you didn’t love it. The same as with domestic animals, the reasons vary. It simply means something in your life changed. We do not advocate obtaining animals without a great deal of thought and research. Nor do we encourage people to easily obtain the animal and then dump it. However, we do understand unforeseen circumstances.
If you or someone you know has a wild or exotic animal that needs to be rehomed for whatever reason, please call us for assistance (727) 329-8751.
