My Friends on the Farm
“MY FRIENDS AT THE FARM, with narration by Casey Affleck, provides an introduction for young people to the realities of
factory farming.  Children’s natural love of animals is strengthened as they meet the rescued animal “ambassadors” now living
peacefully at our New York Shelter and learn their stories.  Both in the classroom and on the farm, children express their
feelings about animals who they may have only viewed as “breakfast, lunch and dinner,” by now may see as living, feeling
beings with their own love of life.  While gaining a new appreciation of farm animals, viewers learn the hidden facts behind
modern “food animal” production, and are encouraged to think critically about the consequences of their food choices.”  “MY
FRIENDS AT THE FARM is part of Farm Sanctuary’s Cultivating Compassion humane education program and is suitable for
students in grades 3-6.  Companion teacher’s guides for elementary, middle and high school grades are also available from
Farm Sanctuary free of charge to teachers.
