Harold Brown

We are so happy that Harold Brown will be speaking at VegFest!

Harold Brown, appearing in the documentary Peaceable Kingdom, The Journey Home, spent half of his life in agriculture. Growing up on a beef farm in Michigan and later working in the dairy industry, Harold has been involved in the behind-the-scenes operations of food production that uses animals.

Today Harold is an activist advocating for sustainable food production, social and environmental justice, animal liberation, and peace through non-violence.

In addition to his talk, you may also find Harold at the Animal Rights Rochester tent at other times of the festival, if you’d like to stop by and talk to him.
