We held a beautiful and joyful ThanksLiving celebration last Sunday, honoring our turkey residents and their rescued friends. It was a wholesome time spent with our Wildwood community, serving and marveling at our friends while letting them know how much we love and respect each and every one of them.

With each ThanksLiving, we get to reinforce the promise to our residents that they are safe, free, and will never be put in harm’s way again. Animals deserve dignity, respect, and autonomy. 🧡

Choose to give this promise with us this holiday season and all year long. Choose to be kind to animals.

Every year, 270+ million turkeys are slaughtered for meat consumption and over 46 million are killed for Thanksgiving alone. Did you know Olive came incredibly close to becoming someone’s Thanksgiving dinner?

Activists and animal lovers negotiated the release of 100 turkeys - baby Olive among them - from one of many farms where hundreds of thousands of lives are taken every year. Most turkeys are only a few months old when they’re slaughtered… Olive is now 7 years old!

She and five of her sisters - Libby, Mercy, Sage, Pepper, Sophia - took their freedom ride all the way from Utah to Wildwood, where they finally had the chance to live the long, joyful life they deserved. While Olive’s sisters have since passed on to the forever pastures, Olive remains, a living testament to resilience and the power of compassion.

Olive’s story is one of triumph, miracle, and pure love. She was given the rare gift of sanctuary, where she could grow old in peace alongside her family. 💫💞

Let turkeys live. Leave them off your plate. There are so many Olives out there who want to live and we can choose to be part of their story.

You can donate to Olive’s care and all our turkey residents here: https://tr.ee/cDWON94cms

🦃 Turkey Spotlight: Olive 🦃

Today we’re celebrating!! Why? Because 7 years ago, after a freedom ride all the way from Utah, Olive found forever sanctuary here at Wildwood. 💗 Olive, at a couple months old, was destined for slaughter, then to be sold as a Thanksgiving turkey. Frightened baby Olive, along with 99 other souls, were saved and their release negotiated by loving activists. Olive had survived.

How happy we are that she did. If anyone has doubt that turkeys have a personality, mood swings, likes and dislikes, then they clearly haven’t met Miss Olive. For 7 years she’s cuddled and snuggled, chirped and trilled, caused mischief and mayhem. She loves to help volunteers on dish duty and teach them how to properly keep the water flowing so she can take her endless sips. She loves a warm lap to snuggle up in when the weather’s chilly.

Save an Olive this holiday and stop the cycle. 🌸 Let’s work toward a more compassionate future together.

Walter got a booboo 😞 He managed to injure his knee while excitedly jumping and flapping around. Because he’s such a big guy (40 or so lbs) the fall back down was too much for his little legs.

While he heals this sprain, we are looking into all the ways we can keep him comfortable and speed along the healing process. He got a visit straight to the vet, is taking meds for pain, warm epsom salt soaks, and using the support of the wheelchair Clover used to heal.

Walter is a tad bigger and taller than Clover, so we’re in the market for a wheelchair custom to his size. This way he can relax and take weight off of his leg. In this video he’s falling asleep as he soaks his legs, being held by board member Cassie and Clover’s chair. It’s given him so much relief. ☁️

We are also looking to get a red-light laser that will stimulate and promote healing. Not only would this tool help Walter, but all of our birds with arthritis and joint/hip problems.

If you’d like to donate to Walter’s specialized wheelchair and therapy, the link to contribute is below. ⬇️ Keep our Walter baby in your thoughts and send healing vibes. 😔❤️‍🩹

🦃 Turkey Spotlight: Cash 🦃

Cautious and careful Cash calls herself a decade-long Wildwood resident this year! Despite what a rooster may believe, she’s the head of the Hen House—always has been, always will be. She’s weary of humans but we give her the space she needs, letting her know just how much we love her in generous treats and affirmations. She is a gorgeous girl after all and deserves all the compliments.

Last month, Cash lost her best friend and right-hand gal, Priscilla. You could always find them together, taking a dirt-bath or under a tree enjoying the shade and breeze. We know she feels the loss and we grieve alongside her. Turkeys are very capable of forming strong bonds and connections, just like us. Turkeys become attached, recognize the comfort in companionship, and have deep feelings.

Keep Cash and Priscilla in your hearts this Thanksgiving holiday and reflect on what it means to feel and love, because turkeys definitely can. Choose compassion, choose kindness.

Join the Zeffy Giving Tuesday Challenge and enter Wildwood to give us a chance at winning 10k!

Here’s how to easily enter us:
1️⃣ Head to the link below & follow the instructions to enter Wildwood Farm Sanctuary
2️⃣ Earn us extra entries by completing the prompted actions once you submit our nonprofit (takes less than 3 minutes)

The nonprofit with the most entries gets the most chances to win the $10,000! That could be us!

🧡 How will we use 10k? This winter we’re up against health challenges that require more vet visits, specific diet feed, treatment and medication, and even structural upgrades to our sanctuary. Our resident population is a majority elderly one. These animals are thankfully living long past their “expected” farmed animal lifespans, but with that comes unprecedented health complications. We will stop at nothing to accommodate and meet our resident’s needs. They deserve to live out their lives supported and well taken care of. You can help us give that to them. ✨
