Welcome to the 35th podcast episode of Our Hen House, featuring Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary Director and Co-founder, Jenny Brown.
In today’s episode, as we prepare to come off of a 10-day juice fast, we will bring you our report from life in our vegan utopia. We’ll also chat about vlogging – perhaps as a means of activism.

Joining us today is none other than the illustrious Jenny Brown, co-founder and director of Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Jenny will talk to us all about sanctuary life, including what originally prompted her to go that route, what it’s like to rescue and rehabilitate farmed animals, and some star-studded upcoming events at Woodstock Sanctuary.
For the unscientific, unofficial Facebook survey portion of our show, we’ll be sticking with the sanctuary theme and sharing with you some special stories of different ways people have been touched during sanctuary visits.
We’ll also be announcing the winner of last week’s contest to win a free copy of the novel, The Tourist Trail, by John Yunker. (And stay tuned for an upcoming review of the book in the next few days — with yet another free giveaway!)
All that, some vegan banter, and of course, tons of current events from the world of animal rights.
This week’s news items include:
- “Tasty Vegan Food? Cupcakes Show It Can Be Done” from The New York Times blog
- “Denny’s Serves Veggie Burgers” from VegNews blog
- “Bird flu jumps to pigs” from NewScientist
- “Horse Advocates Pull for Underdog in Roundups” from The New York Times
“Our task must be to free ourselves…by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” -Albert Einstein
