Running to the weekend like 💥❤️! (In actuality, Andrew was sprinting to see his friends Wade and Jennifer who had just arrived and always bring him the best treats! He loves fruit and they bring him frozen fruit to enjoy on hot days 🧊🍐🍉🩵)
It has been HOT and DRY for weeks and weeks here in North Florida during our “rainy” season. Normally, by now, we’d have transitioned from buying hay to grazing on our lush green Peacefield pastures. Not this year. With no rain in sight we’ll continue buying high quality barn-kept hay for the animals and we wanted to take a moment to send our gratitude to every donor; whether it’s one time or monthly. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and no one here takes a salary so 100% of your support goes directly to the animals. THANK YOU for helping us care for these wonderful creatures living happy, healthy and free at Peacefield ♡
Andrew, how did you get so cute? ♡ ◡̈
Freddie is often told how beautiful he is and I think his level of confidence shows that he knows it 🫰🏼💫🩷
May all beings live wild happy & free 🌲🐮🩵
It’s nice to take a moment to tell your fur babies how gorgeous and beautiful they are ☺️💫 some positive affirmations get the day started on the right hoof 🐴🩷 #positivevibes #positiveaffirmations
Felix & his grampa Tim! Aka the MVP of Peacefield 🩵 we can’t thank John’s dad Tim enough for taking such amazing care of the animals 🐮 they adore him ⛅️ and we’re so grateful for him! He’s a plant powered athlete 💪🏻 and one of the most active guys I know - he is living proof we can live strong and healthy on a vegan diet. And how about this beautiful sunset at Peacefield last night 🤩?!
No stone unturned under Freddie’s watch 👀 he’s the most curious mischievous individual I’ve ever met
Lenny & Andrew ♡ Better together ♡
Sound on for sniffs (Charlotte says hi 🐴👋🏼🩷)
Deep tissue massage for sweet Fred 🤎
Some Andrew kisses for me & Some Andrew kisses for you 😘
This best friendship between Jennifer 🩷and Andrew🐮 is one of the best things I’ve ever been lucky enough to be witness to. The magic of sanctuary 🤍 and power of love
With summer heat in full swing we’re working to keep the animals happy & cool by investing in some high powered fans for our herds & flocks. Temps are already mid 90’s with weeks on end without rain. The cows are already big fans…of their fans…okay I’ll stop 🤭😁. Wishing you a great summer! Stay cool not cruel & remember to hydrate 🩵
My family always had at least three rescued dogs from the humane society growing up and my dad had a saying “surround hound” when all the dogs were snuggling us on the couch. I need a new saying for “surround-cow” snuggles 🥰
Meet Katy Perry the Hen, our newest rescue 🩷🎆! Katy is 8 years old and up until now she was living with a kind family here in Gainesville. Her family is moving out West for work (a new job as a wild land firefighter) and are unable to bring Katy with them. Thankfully she found us and a forever happy home at Peacefield! Katy Perry has already beaten the odds and is a survivor - she is missing an eye, a toe, and part of her beak due to injuries sustained defending a clutch of eggs from a raccoon a few years back. But she gets around great and can eat independently. I’ve been keeping a close eye on her as it is a big change moving and joining a whole new flock. So far she is enjoying perching in front of the large new fan we installed this morning to help the flock stay cool this summer. Thank you so much to our supporters for helping us make this happy dream for rescued farm animals come true.
Bonus of picking up lots of heavy cow poop? Getting to hang with these cute characters in a forest! 🌳🍃💚 When I was living in Minneapolis going to nursing school this wasn’t the future I had envisioned, but I’m pretty surprised and delighted with the outcome 😆. The best is seeing Andrew go from a scared lonely calf to a confident individual who marches proudly up to me and gives my legs a couple licks before going off to explore some more. I’m so happy for him 🥰
