Hey! We need hay! Winter is almost here so we need your help to make sure all of our residents are warm and well fed through these harsh months. It is VERY EXPENSIVE but we know we can do it with your help! ❤️ donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

"Peppers" came to us this past summer as a baby chick with severely deformed feet. We taped them with snow shoe pads and worked on her nutrition, but her feet were determined to curl how they developed (most likely) before she hatched. Well, she is PERFECT the way she is, and we love her so much.

We tried to take some soothing footage of the goat herd grazing but kept getting interrupted. 😐

We are in the fall spirit here! But more than anything else we're so grateful for all the donation to our winter hay drive. We are so close to the halfway point - can you help us reach it today!? ❄️ donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

Fall deworming has begun. Today we were able to do all the sheep. We try to make the process as quick, painless & stress free as possible.
But as you can see here things don’t always go smoothly (note the boys escaping on us)
Everyone is done and all was forgiven with some snacks and lots of pets.

Rumi (left) and Tessa (right) are ready for dinner. These two are mom and daughter... together forever at the sanctuary! Do you know who is mom and who is daughter?
