Mad Hatter Farm

02/21/2025

I know that the many animals here at our rescue/sanctuary are incredibly grateful after we returned home with almost 3,000lbs of farm/dog food at only $.15 a lb!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to SOS Rescue GA for organizing this and the dedicated volunteers who braved the cold for hours to help us.
It makes me so happy to see rescues working together where many times in the years, it felt like it was each man for himself.

Thanks to their support, we can continue to make a difference on our farm, one child and one animal at a time.

This experience has also shown us that we definitely need a bigger trailer to handle loads like that! 🫣

Additionally, we appreciate Greater Good Charities
for assisting small rescues like ours, allowing us to make it through each month in this challenging economy.
We truly don't know what we would do without them!

I love where we stand today as a licensed sanctuary and rescue.
No longer do I have to beg and plead or lay awake at night wondering how we will make ends meet.
As we grow our shed store and care farm, the finances continue to come in to help us manage our expenses.

Yes, we still ask for donations when we can because we do operate a nonprofit organization.
However, becoming more self-sufficient is truly a blessing as well. While we can’t help all the animals we would like to, it’s essential that we ensure we can effectively care for the animals we do have here.

This week, I want to share our expenses to help others understand what life is like in a nonprofit rescue and sanctuary.
The prices listed below are actually quite good compared to general public expenses and we are sincerely thankful to our community of businesses for their support in helping with discounted prices.

Here are our weekly expenses:
- Vet care for one of our goats: $200
- Vet costs for gelding and euthanasia: $486
- Burial: $300
- Hay: $800
- Weekly feed: $250
- Farrier services: $500

We have a pallet of farm feed and dog food that will total in around $500 when we pick up this week.

These totals reflect just one week of expenses.

On a positive note, we shipped out 10 online orders yesterday and still have more to send!
We are also incredibly grateful to our wonderful donors. Thank you all for helping us make everything we do here a success!

We truly appreciate the shed purchases to help cover the costs this month of normal feed/hay/farrier along with several vet bills.

We have new chickens heading to the shed at only $15 each!

Won’t be long now that we will start offering baked goods at our farm!
Spring is finally just around the corner!

I know our sanctuary crew will be ever appreciative of your support as every purchase helps us continue to do all that we do here.
I know little Jeff is thankful!

Also, yes, we will be licensed with a cottage license!

Today we had to make the decision to lay Ellie at rest.
We gave her as much time as we could to enjoy before this day but she showed us today, she was done.

Rest easy sweet Ellie.

Busby's Cares is launching a new initiative in 2025 to further help those in our community. Each month a local non-profit or charity organization will be chosen to highlight. Busby's Heating and Air Conditioning will MATCH donations up to $2,000 for the chosen organization!

This month, we would like to highlight Mad Hatter Farm in Harlem, GA! Mad Hatter Farm, also known as Cassies Cares Farm, was created in honor of Cassandra Josephine, affectionately known as Cassie, who came from foster care and had special needs. This incredible farm is the only handicap-accessible farm in the CSRA, offering a range of activities and experiences that are inclusive and accessible to everyone. The farm features wheelchair paths, handicap-accessible garden beds, and other activities designed to be enjoyed by all, regardless of their abilities. Mad Hatter Farm is a 25-acre farm that also provides a safe haven for neglected and surrendered farm animals.
