## FarmHouse Fresh Receives Prestigious ‘Humane Hero’ Award for Compassionate Animal Welfare Efforts
McKinney, Texas – FarmHouse Fresh, the female-founded and led skincare company renowned for its award-winning products, has been bestowed with the prestigious ‘2024 Humane Hero’ honor by the Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN). This recognition marks a significant milestone as FarmHouse Fresh is the first business to receive this esteemed award, which celebrates individuals and institutions exhibiting exceptional leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication to animal welfare.
FarmHouse Fresh’s commitment to animal welfare is deeply rooted in their ‘Skincare that Saves’ mission. The company proudly donates a generous 10%-15% of all profits to fund, rescue, and rehabilitate abused and neglected farm animals. Their efforts extend beyond financial contributions, with a dedicated 501(c)3 non-profit Animal Sanctuary established at the FarmHouse Fresh Ranch Headquarters, a sprawling 10-acre property in McKinney, TX.
The FarmHouse Fresh Farm Animal Sanctuary provides a haven for over 53 rescued horses, donkeys, ponies, goats, and sheep, offering them a safe and nurturing environment where they can live out their lives free from abuse and neglect. To further emphasize their commitment, FarmHouse Fresh launched their innovative ‘Track Your Batch’ program over five years ago. This program allows customers to trace the batch code on every product to the specific animals that benefited from their purchase. By simply entering the code on the company’s website, customers can learn the inspiring stories of the animals whose lives they’ve positively impacted.
Each purchase from FarmHouse Fresh directly supports the sanctuary, ensuring the animals receive essential supplies like hay and grain, 24/7 veterinary care, and vital medical expenses. The company’s dedication extends beyond their own sanctuary, with recent collaborations like the limited-edition Smurfs TM collection. This collection, infused with organic ingredients like hydroponically-grown botanical microgreens and exotic blue plants, helped rescue animals across the nation. Through the ‘Track Your Batch’ program, customers could discover the stories of hundreds of animals saved thanks to their purchase, with 100% of the collection’s profits benefiting nine animal rescue organizations, raising nearly $100,000 for their vital work.
“FarmHouse Fresh Skincare has made a profound impact, not just in Texas, but across the US and internationally,” says Shelby Bobosky, Executive Director of THLN. “It’s crucial to recognize and partner with organizations that champion animal welfare in Texas, and the Smurfs initiative has shown us the incredible potential we can achieve together.” The ‘Humane Hero’ award shines a light on FarmHouse Fresh’s exceptional efforts while empowering THLN to further its advocacy work in Texas and inspire fellow rescuers.
“We are profoundly grateful to receive the Humane Hero Award,” expresses Shannon McLinden, CEO and Co-Founder of FarmHouse Fresh. “This recognition reflects our commitment to crafting skincare products that not only enhance natural beauty but prioritize the well-being of animals. Our mission has always been to promote kindness, sustainability, and ethical practices, and this award motivates us to continue pushing boundaries for a brighter, more compassionate future.” Looking ahead, especially as they approach their 20th anniversary in 2025, FarmHouse Fresh remains dedicated to spearheading innovative initiatives that continue to make a positive difference in the lives of animals.
The award will be formally presented on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Texas Discovery Gardens in Dallas, TX.
