Right Farming
A farmed animal advocacy initiative from the Tennessee Cow Rescue
Right by the land, Right by the animal, right by you.
Right Farming advocates for farmed animals through education, public awareness, farmer engagement, and policy advocacy. We challenge cruelty and harmful practices, advance meaningful improvements in the lives of farmed animals, and encourage a gradual transition away from relying on animals for food and other human uses.

September 2026
We revamped our 2025 initiative to better reflect the work we'll focus on in the future. Initially, we focused on hands-on advocacy in our own farming community.

We have applied with the Animal Policy Alliance, (part of the, The Humane League). We hope to be a member in their network of state based organizations working together to stop the abuse of animals raised for food and products through meaningful policy reform.

Join us in advocating for better farming practices that improve the lives of farmed animals everywhere. Until there is no animal farming, we will continue to demand stricter policies and farming practices. Treatment of farmed animals does not need to be cruel, and as consumers, we should not tolerate it.
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
