About The Goat Conspiracy

History

Located halfway between Bloomington and Nashville, IN, the Goat Conspiracy began as a small local sustainably-oriented farm and creamery. After almost a decade of working the farm, we began to understand gaps that could not be closed with respect to sustainability and animal welfare. In the winter of 2024, we began our “transfarmation” into a sanctuary/retirement home for our goats and chickens.

We would love for you to visit the Goat Conspiracy and learn more about our story, how we saw ourselves as an alternative to factory farms, but ended up realizing the impact of dairy among other forms of animal agriculture are neither sustainable nor truly in line with animal welfare. We offer farm visits/tours, yoga classes, birthday parties, and hold a variety of events on the farm (follow us on Facebook or Insta or sign up for our newsletter to keep apprised of our upcoming events).

Mission: Our mission is to provide formerly farmed animals with a safe and compassionate home where they can live meaningful lives, while inspiring people to think critically and develop greater empathy for animals in the food system.

Vision: We envision a world where animals are not exploited for food, fashion, or entertainment. and where sustainability and respect for all living beings guide the choices people make..

Values: Animal Welfare and Compassion - The primary focus of the Sanctuary is the animals. We want to learn from them as much as possible, as well as learning about animals outside who are trapped in our food system. We want the Sanctuary to provide opportunities for people to connect with our animals and extend that connection to what is on or off their plate.

Education:  By connecting visitors with the individual personalities and stories of our residents, we hope to educate people about animals trapped in the food system and about the threat of animal agriculture to our natural environment.
