Since we started this process, we here at Herbivorous Acres knew what we were up against. Animal agriculture has a very strong hold on this beautiful planet we live on. Factory farming has such a negative impact on not only animals, but our environment. But there’s an age-old saying- be the change you want to see in the world.

We have such an amazing group of people that are already involved with our organization who are making changes every day and have been doing so for years. Now that we are all together and joining forces, we need one last thing- YOU! Without the support of the people, our animals will continue to struggle and suffer.

We have seen the amazing things people can do to help others when they all come together. Just think of how much Herbivorous Acres can accomplish if we all band together! There is something to be said about strength in numbers. We are ready to share our dreams with the public as of January 22 nd and we can’t wait! We have lots of fun plans ahead in order to spread the word and tell people in every corner of the planet about our mission.

There is another age-old saying- Sharing is Caring! Join us today and tell everyone you know. Tell your mothers, brothers, neighbors, and strangers! Heck tell your dog! The only way we will reach as many animals as possible is by getting the word out and getting as many people involved as possible. Consider it the easiest daily donation! Talk about us any chance you get. The more people that are engaged in the conversation of animal’s rights and welfare, plant-based living, and compassion, the more animals we can save!

It all began on July 4th 2016. It was just a couple of goofballs enjoying each other’s company. Marie started talking about her dream of having a farm sanctuary some day but it wouldn’t be for many years down the road. Not soon after that, Aubry started talking about the same dream. The lightbulb turned on! And of course Marie started getting teary-eyed. Marie and Aubry’s dreams weren’t so far away.

We hit the ground running. It was only a few weeks later that the paperwork started getting completed and on September 1st, 2016 Herbivorous Acres was incorporated as a nonprofit in the State of MN! We started working on the IRS form 1023 in order to get our 501(c)(3) status. Many months after that, what seemed like the impossible was possible and Herbivorous Acres submitted their IRS application.

We were told to expect a wait anywhere between 3-18 months to get approved. Right before the holiday season was in full swing, a letter came in the mail. One month and 1 day after applying, Herbivorous Acres was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit!

Now we hit the ground running even faster! In just about a month, Herbivorous Acres has pulled together the efforts of an amazing Board of Directors and other talented individuals to be able to announce the farm to the public and start down the road of opening to the public.

There isn’t enough thanks in the world that we can give to the people who have done nothing but support us. We have big goals. Some may say even too big. But we are ready. We are here. We are going to make a difference. Watch out world. Herbivorous Acres is here to stay and we are looking forward to changing the lives of both animals and people. We hope you will come with us on this adventure! Let’s save some animals!
