About Us

Rising Moon Farm - About Us

Our purpose is to protect and care for cows for the duration of their lives in keeping with the teachings contained in the Vedic literatures and the instructions of His Divine Grace, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. We provide our cows sufficient pasture for fresh grass, fodder, water, shelter, and loving care.

Our location adjacent to the ISKCON Temple of the Holy Name allows us to share our love for cows with the many guests who visit the temple and our Goshala (cow shelter). Our visitors are invited to interact with the cows, under the guidance of our caretakers. Everyone leaves with a new appreciation of these affectionate, curious, and very social beings, as well as a better understanding of the sacred role of cows in Vedic culture.

Rising Moon Farm is a non-profit, tax exempt, 501c3 corporation. The rising moon is a symbol for Lord Caitanya, Who, along with Lord Nityananda, is worshipped daily in our temple. Join us in serving this humble being. Supporting and protecting cows will earn you Lord Krishna's blessings for all time.
