Agripunk is located in Ambra, in the province of Arezzo, and for over 10 years has been a project to convert a former intensive turkey farm into an anti-speciesist shelter for animals transitioning from the livestock system.
Agripunk is also a political, social, and cultural meeting place, welcoming people from around the world who come to share their experiences or offer their support.
A ruling by the Arezzo court on July 4th decreed its eviction.
We must seize this last glimmer of hope to purchase the farm and former intensive farm that houses the association and raise 500,000 euros as quickly as possible!
This is because by the end of the summer, we're being forced to gradually clear the farm completely, with the first deadline set for June 19th.
After another month, in July, two sheds were returned by Agripunk: shed 7 and shed 1.
On August 31st, there will be a third access, and we should return shed 5, our manure heap.
We are launching a fundraiser for the purchase of the Agripunk headquarters because by June 19th we must have concrete and fundamental results to determine our future.
We set ourselves a first goal of July 31, 2026, by which time we hoped the fundraising effort would reach a significant goal of at least €50,000, effectively strengthening our ability to jointly develop a sustainable solution for the project's future. And indeed...
We did it! Today, July 24, 2026, is the day we update you, and we've raised €50,285.00!
We've raised over €50,000, and just one week early!
That's why we're relaunching our fundraising campaign, but we don't want to double it; that would be too risky given the importance of the project.
We want to reach our goal of €150,000 raised by August 31, 2026. So let's get to work, as we still need €100,000 to raise as soon as possible.
We want to relaunch the fundraising campaign both on social media and on Produzioni dal Basso, and from now on, you can also donate quickly via card or digitally from our website www.agripunk.com, without registering.
Our goal remains to continue operating in the place where Agripunk has become its home.
At the same time, out of a sense of responsibility, we are also evaluating possible alternatives that would allow us to ensure the continuity of the association's activities if it is not possible to continue at the current location. From this perspective too, the outcome of the fundraising will be crucial, as it will allow us to understand what resources are actually available to address any scenario, so as not to waste what has been collectively achieved so far.
Leaving would mean starting over for all of us, with all the difficulties you can imagine, and no one to watch over the forest, the lake, this valley, and the memory of those thousands of those who, over the years, have sought and continue to seek justice.
We want to purchase Agripunk, to free it once and for all.
