Farms Not Factories


To help close factory farms, we are making more short films to expose the true cost of animal factories and urge people to only buy pork with a high animal welfare label.  

PLEDGE TODAY

Who Are We? Farms Not Factories is a small not-for-profit organisation that works through campaigns and films to expose the true costs of cheap meat from factory farms and thereby inspire people to only buy meat from high-welfare farms. 

What Do We Want To Achieve? We want to change the fact that  75% of the pork eaten in the UK comes from pigs raised in factory farms. 57% of the pork eaten in the UK is imported from countries which raise pigs in cruel conditions that are illegal in the UK, out-competing British farmers and destroying local livelihoods.

How Are We Going To Make This Change? 

1. The Great And The Good: Due to the overwhelming success of our previous series #TurnYourNoseUp (over 6 million reached) we plan to make a similar series with more celebrities e.g. Bruce Parry and many others. 

2. Rooting for Real Farms: For this series (over 1 million reached) we plan to make more videos with chefs and the farmers that supply their high welfare pork. Celebrity chefs, Thomasina Miers founder of Wahaca and Skye Gyngell head chef of Spring Restaurant are among many that will take part.

3. Pester Pig:  A series of films in which an indignant pig wreaks revenge on people who thoughtlessly chose pork from animal factories. See below our Pester Pig pilot which reached 62,000 views.
