It’s Up to Us to Stand Up to Factory Farms.
Factory farms ravage rural communities with little oversight, poisoning our waterways and increasing corporate control of our food. Here in Washington, we’re fighting back.
Factory farms pollute our air and drinking water, drive out family farms, and confine animals in overcrowded industrial warehouses where they have little space to move.
For decades, the government has failed to regulate the harmful impacts of factory farms and rural communities have paid the price. It’s time to demand better for Washington.
We’re building a coalition of voters, volunteers, and local organizations committed to passing legislation that holds these mega-farms accountable to the communities they operate in.
GET THE FACTS
animals raised in factory farms in our state.
Oregon’s largest egg factory farm, located in Willamette Valley, houses over 2.2 million chickens.
Gallons of water per day are consumed by just 11 factory farms in Oregon

“The reality is that these factory farms aren’t the farms of the past. There’s no red barn with cows grazing on pasture. These are industrial factories with animals that rarely see the light of day.”
Our Community. Our Laws.
The rise of factory farming has concentrated profits for big business. Industrial farms have changed the landscape of Oregon at the expense of small farmers, our precious water resources, and the millions of animals who suffer inside the walls of these facilities.
In 2001, Oregon’s largest mega-dairy opened its doors. Within 8 years, Oregon lost more than 600 family-owned dairy farms.
The factory farm lobby has enormous political influence. Since 2021, Tillamook and Threemile Canyon alone, along with their PACs, have given over $450,000 to state legislators and their campaigns.
We’re fighting back against corporate interests by advocating for laws that protect small businesses, our health, and the animals under our care.
