In 2016, a Texas couple took in 2 goats in their tiny South Austin backyard; 10 years later, Austin Farm Sanctuary covers 95 acres

In 2016, Chris Fuller-Wigg and Angela established the Austin Farm Sanctuary after rescuing a pair of goats, marking the beginning of a transformative journey. Today, the sanctuary spans 95 acres and shelters around 240 animals, many of whom are elderly or disabled. With its innovative LEAP program, visitors engage in hands-on experiences that foster compassion for farm animals, challenging traditional views and promoting a kinder perspective on these sentient beings.
