Right Farming
A new ethical agriculture initiative from Tennessee Cow Rescue
Right Farming advocates for farmed animals through education, public awareness, farmer engagement, and policy advocacy. We work to challenge cruelty and harmful practices while advancing meaningful improvements in the lives of animals and encouraging a gradual transition away from relying on animals for food and other human uses
Our work is grounded in the belief that the long-term future should involve far fewer animals being bred, raised, and killed for food, clothing, and other human uses, and that factory farming should end immediately.

This will be the place to learn what we are working on, what we have accomplished, and to highlight the individuals, groups, and organizations we are working with to make meaningful change in farmed animal advocacy.
Right Farming dates back to the beginning of TCR. Samma Farm, where the rescue was established, is named after the Sanskrit word “Right,” as in the right thing to do.
There are 8 leaves in the TCR lotus flower, representing the Noble Eightfold Path.
