Advocacy Tale - Woodstock Farm Sanctuary (High Falls, New York)
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Today, we will be heading to New York to learn about an incredible animal sanctuary called Woodstock Farm Sanctuary. I learned about them through a friend who had long admired their efforts of giving farm animals a life of their own. When I saw a video of 4 happy goats frolicking at their farm, I knew there was something special there and I had to interview them. Lizz, the Marketing and Communications Director of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, kindly agreed.

Please listen to the previous episode, "1Bitch9Pups," before listening to this one because this episode is an extension of it.
