Heartstone Veganic Sanctuary is a vegan organic animal sanctuary - possibly the only one of its kind in the world - located in the North West of Ireland. Heartstone focuses on farmed animals & particularly cows, due to the fact that safe spaces for cows are almost nonexistent in Ireland. In the daily interaction with the animal residents, their individual personalities, their relationships & rights are the main focus; everyone is granted as much freedom as possible without putting them in danger: they are free to decide for themselves how to spend their day, where, & with whom. All residents, human, non-human & wildlife, are vegan (& organic) - granted, of course, that everyone’s nutritional needs are met.
Besides vegan organic feeds, fabrics, remedies & supplements, all supplies are sourced as ethically and sustainably as possible, with a focus on local or fair trade, seasonal, plastic-free, & biodegradable. Heartstone’s ethical foundation is best described by the principles of nonkilling & nonviolence; nonharm is being aspired to & includes all sentient beings & the natural world as it is involved in or affected by the running of the sanctuary or the production chain of all supplies.
Beyond the care for the immediate residents, a main focus of Heartstone are the areas of climate (collapse) & biodiversity (breakdown), or, in short, nature (& the survival of humanity and those dependent on us). A major goal for Heartstone’s future is to be able to engage in vegan rewilding aka v-wilding on as large a scale as possible, & to offer education on truly sustainable veganic agricultural and horticultural practices in no-dig/no-till agroforestry & polycultures/permaculture.
Special thanks to the label and all other artists involved.
