Our rescued pigs love summer camp season. 💖🌞
We're excited to announce a significant step in our journey to inspire compassion for our planet: Heartland will install solar arrays on our main barn, the bird barn, and our large storage pole barn. ☀️ This project will substantially reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with our strategic priority to respect and restore our natural environment.
These solar installations are projected to save approximately $9,190 annually in energy costs, with savings expected to increase to over $16,564 by year 25 — a total of around $180,791 in savings. And, by virtually eliminating our electric bills, leveraging subsidies and smart financing, this project incurs no additional net costs to Heartland, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability is achieved without financial burden. 💛
From our ED, Jen: ‘Every once in a while, you open the mail and it’s not for you — it’s for Frankie. So I had to walk it over and deliver it to the correct recipient who enjoyed the kind words right before bed.’ 🥰
We love fan mail as much as the residents do! And Frankie may have received some jealous looks while Jen showed him his special letter. 💌 👀
Want to send some fan mail of your own? You can reach the residents at HFS / P.o. box 607 / Stoughton, WI 53589

Friends, in case you missed our latest newsletter, you can read it at the link in our comments below.
We're heartbroken to announce the passing of two beloved sheep residents: our girls Flower and Joan. 💔 We're taking solace in knowing we had the honor of caring for and loving them all of these years, and giving them the sanctuary life that every animal deserves. We thank you for loving them right along with us. 💖 If you'd like to share your photos/memories of these two in the comments below, we'd love to see them. (You can also share them and tag us)
Check out the newsletter for more about these two, plus our new Heartland memorial space, our upcoming Sunflower Socials, our summer pilot therapy program, and more!
The dollops of sunscreen, the flippity floppity ears, and that perfect snout - it’s gotta be our gal, Bluey! 🐽✨
Weekend vibes ✨ featuring Libby and Betty 💕

Something to feel good about on this - Betty White and Bluey had a very successful playdate in the pasture! 🐷✨🐷 Let’s hope it’s the beginning of a blossoming friendship!
Darling Missy enjoying the sunshine in the emu yard. 🌞 Did you know emus are the only birds with calf muscles? That’s right! Their powerful legs make them fast runners, high jumpers, and strong kickers. 💥
Fonsi’s fancy summer look, complete with orange leg wraps to keep the flies away, and a grazing muzzle to keep a certain someone from eating too much sweet sugary grass — but don’t worry, he can still graze no problemo. 💚🙃
