“Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge is a haven for animals and humans alike, a place where we can come together and share our common love and understanding of one another and our furry and feathered friends. It’s spending time with like-minded individuals, to share our experiences, values, and our desire to educate those who have not yet come to know animals as friends and not commodities. The friends I’ve made through the Refuge are my heroes and I’m proud to know each and every one of them. Together with the animals we are changing the world!”
— Mary Whitmire

— Deborah Hawes
“I love Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge because they give comfy, loving, forever homes to farm animals and they continue to gently educate people about factory farming and veganism. My soul rests easier knowing the Refuge exists in the factory farm-heavy state of NC!!!!”

“I love Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge because it helps me hope for a more compassionate world. And because the sweet (and tough) hens of Bay 6 are an inspiration and a delight!”
— Alice Hamilton Evert
“I love Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge because they dedicate their time and energy to help the animals that need it most. These animals deserve love and compassion, and I feel like the Refuge can give that to them beyond a doubt. They are helping people to wake up to the cruelty that takes place in factory farms and realize they can make a difference.”
— Crystal Bailey
“I love the Refuge because they have dedicated their lives to helping, protecting and caring for animals who need us, but have no voice. Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge is a safe haven in a sometimes cruel world.”
— Lori A. Stevens
“I love the Refuge because it’s a ray of hope in a sad world where it’s “acceptable” to torture and murder animals. Every animal who is lucky enough to come to the refuge is treated with love and respect. And I also really love the outreach and education they provide. I can safely assume that most animal rights advocates today were once meat eaters who didn’t really think about the horrors of factory farming until someone opened their eyes. The Refuge is opening those eyes!”
— Anna O’Neal
“I love Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge because for the first time since going vegan I was able to meet and interact with chickens, turkeys and goats and know that they were not being exploited, used or harmed in anyway anymore. I’d never touched a live chicken or turkey before and it was really an emotional moment for me. They’re so smart and funny and unique! I love the Refuge for providing refuge and sanctuary for, being an advocate for and allowing me the opportunity to get to know and help care for these beautiful souls.”
