Due to COVID-19 Edgar’s Mission is taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our volunteers and staff. At this time, we are not taking on new volunteers. We appreciate your support and patience during these challenging times.

Edgar’s Mission is a not for profit sanctuary for rescued farmed animals that seeks to create a humane and just world for humans and non-humans. Set on 153 peaceable acres situated just outside of Lancefield, the sanctuary is nestled in the tranquility of the Macedon Ranges. Edgar’s Mission rescues and provides sanctuary to farmed animals in need, currently providing lifelong love and care to over 450 rescued animals. Through education, outreach, advocacy, community enrichment and sanctuary tours, we encourage people to expand their circle of compassion to include all animals.
