Even when our social media is quiet, we are still working!!

Welcome to the farm Chipeta, our newest rescue baby girl. She is 9 years old, vocal, and and escape artist ♥️ She came to us from a farm in the mountains that knew their -30 degree winters were just too hard for her and she has a tooth ailment that will likely have her on and off hay throughout the winter so we are just working to get to know her and her routines before the first big storm of the year comes in.

It’s been a QUIET week for us, we are healing up from a crazy but that took down the whole family but the animals are great, the weather is cooling off, and the holidays are coming.

I’ll have some life updates and animal updates soon!

(Cam is all about her “goos and gocks” lately, check out her shoes here - we are committed to keeping her in wide toe foot friendly shoes as long as we can, so thankful to have this option for her foot health. Use CAM10 For a discount on your babes shoes).

Having Chance home with us has been such a blessing ♥️ He has started with a trainer that knows all about training horses with his physical condition and he’s so far reacting really well to training.

Since we host events at our farm and onsite Airbnb we have to make sure Chance is well trained and *safe* to be around children so for now on top of his vet care he will be getting help each week to be ready to meet all of our farm friends!

Oh hey Randall ♥️ Randall at one point belonged to our neighbor but like any country cat he roamed over to our place, found a free meal and a back scratch, and then moved in for good!

What’s one more mouth to feed?! Randall lucked out with a daily meal, a heated and insulated cat shack, and a Farm Baby who loves him. A little fact about Randall and Farm Baby- My daughter said “Dundall” before she said “Mama”.

A quick sunset picture from the farm tonight - If you’re new to our page let me do a quick introduction! We started an animal rescue farm “on accident” a few years back when we wanted farm animals but knew there were plenty of lovable animals who needed rescued instead of purchasing animals. Our hearts kept growing and growing as we welcomed home special needs animals and soon the vet was at our farm often enough that our mindset became “well if the vets already coming for x, x, and x, what’s one more patient for her” and so with that mindset we became regulars with our vet and kept welcoming home differently abled animals.

During covid we moved to the property of our dreams to give our animals more space and for the last 2.5 years we have been building from the ground up. We now have a massive barn, a chicken and duck coop that’s bigger than our own home, and we have slowly been growing flower fields, a brand new apple orchard, and an Airbnb for friends to come stay with the animals and experience it all from sun up to sun down.

Did we mention this is a family project? You’ll see our whole family and extended family here helping and getting their hands dirty, all the way down to our little Farm Baby!

I see two little cuties! We are loving getting to know Theo and Elron’s little personalities! These two buddies are still on quarantine as we wait for our vet to clear them but they have lots of green pasture to chew through while they wait and they’re loving it.

We weren’t ready but we couldn’t say no… Welcome home, Chance William!

We are so lucky to live in an area with some really great Horse Rescues but when we heard Chance’s story we knew his best CHANCE was here with us. He was originally rescued from a kill barn (a practice that we do not support or endorse in any way, more on that later), in the course of saving him from an awful fate his rescuer found a large leg injury that had gone untreated. The untreated injury turned into a very serious incurable lifelong condition.

We are so grateful that his rescuer found us - Our history of physically disabled animals with an emphasis on leg injuries has allowed us to quickly come up with a care plan and assemble a team to help him. We are committed to his pain management and already working with our main vet, a specialist, a corrective farrier, a massage therapist, an equine laser therapist, and two trainers that will help build his strength back up.

You’re safe here, my boy 🐴♥️

Okay today is a triple introduction day ♥️ After a morning of pure chaos we are home with our THREE new rescue babies. First introducing Theo (lighter colored) and Elron who were originally rescued from a flood a few years back. Theo is sweet and softspoken, super laid back and quiet while Elron is a spicy boy, very vocal, and excited to come out of his quarantine to meet his new animal friends.

Theo suffers from a neurological injury so during his quarantine we will be watching closely to see what extra care we can offer him.

It’s been a busy morning of chores here at the farm, even Farm Baby and Randall the cat are helping with the chores!

Nothing better than a morning full of greenery for the animals ♥️

Life has felt way busier than normal lately so I apologize for the bit of ghosting we have done!! We have been busy loving on our animals, loving on our baby girl, preparing the farm for visitors in our on site Airbnb, farming our flowers, and most importantly starting to winterize.

I promise I will have more farm updates soon ♥️
