History

Peepal Farm was started in December 2014 by Robin Singh and Joellen Anderson in Himachal Pradesh's Dhanotu village near the Dharamsala Town, who were then joined by the third co-founder Shivani Singh.[4]

Immediately before, the trio had been running a sterilization program for stray dogs in New Delhi. The idea stemmed from the limitations of animal welfare work, and they decided to do it in a way that involves and inspires others. In the year 2015, once the primary construction was complete, the farm was open to people to volunteer and work in exchange of lodging and vegan meals.[5] Since that time, farm has helped many animals heal, find homes[6] or pass on peacefully.[7]

Being the only place where large animals can recover in the area, the local administration regularly refers cases to Peepal Farm since 2017.
