Compassionate Cuisine

A Unique Offering

Catskill Animal Sanctuary has rescued nearly 2,000 desperately needy animals since its founding in 2001. As fulfilling as it is to offer a safe haven, we know that the larger impact comes from helping humans understand that a plant-based diet is not only kinder to the animals and the planet, but also healthier for us. To that end, we are pleased to be the only farm animal sanctuary in the country to offer a vegan teaching program.

What does that mean?

It means that we are taking positive, progressive action in order to make a peaceable and sustainable world a reality. People often say, “I’d stop eating animals if I knew what else to eat!” Addressing this problem is what Compassionate Cuisine is all about. With on-site cooking and organic gardening classes, appearances at farmers markets and food festivals, a blog with recipes, and more to come, we are providing the skills and knowledge of vegan eating to anyone interested in exploring it. Once people taste this food, so full of flavor and life, they realize just how delicious and easy it can be to make the switch.

CAS is currently looking for an experienced vegan chef to lead the Compassionate Cuisine program.
