🦅I told her the animals would get spooked by the costume. She said, “no, they’ll know it’s me, trust me.”

She was right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Reminder to locals that Ure's Country Kitchen has supported our community (including Runaways Farm) for many years through donations and sponsorships. So please keep that in mind when you’re filling up your car - now that a new gas station has opened up across the street, it’s time for us to return the favour.

🐐 ✂️ It’s hoof trimming day! Goatzy sent us some clippers to try out, and since I am learning how to trim our goats’ hooves myself, I was happy to give them a go. And sanctuaries love free stuff! 😁

They worked really well, and are definitely better quality than the pair I had before. 9 out of 10, reserving that final point for proven longevity. Hopefully in a few months it will earn that 10 out of 10!

While Charlotte eats, everyone gets a little grain and some bum scratches to keep them occupied.

We’ll have plenty of pumpkin smash footage over the next few days, but here’s a peaceful glimpse of our residents enjoying yesterday’s pumpkin donation bounty. 🎃🧡

Thank you to everyone who took time to drop off their uncarved pumpkins, including the lovely person who collected 64 pumpkins from their neighbours! This season is like farm sanctuary Christmas! 😁

🛑 We are at max capacity for pumpkins - thank you to everyone who dropped off this year!

For the animals’ safety, all pumpkins must be uncarved & undecorated. We can also accept dry straw.

We are very grateful for the extra treats for the animals, but carved or decorated pumpkins create a lot of extra work for us to dispose of them.

Every year we’ve had to dispose of piles of moldy pumpkins, rotten pumpkins, painted pumpkins, and even pumpkins covered in pins from having been decorated. 😮

Please message for address and drop off times. And thank you for caring for the animals and helping us keep them healthy. 💚
