To our community, supporters, friends, and everyone who has loved this farm alongside us…
I never imagined I would have to write a post like this. Honestly, even typing the words feels heartbreaking.
After a great deal of thought and many difficult conversations, the decision has been made to sell the farm.
This farm was never just land or buildings. It was a place where animals found safety, where children grew up surrounded by love and nature, and where so many memories were created with all of you. Over the years, this little farm became so much bigger than I ever imagined. It became a place of healing, education, laughter, heartbreak, and second chances.
We poured everything we had into this dream.
The last year has brought challenges that many of you witnessed publicly — the fire, financial strain, rising costs, and the emotional weight of trying to keep everything afloat while navigating major life changes behind the scenes. I tried very hard to hold it all together.
But sometimes life shifts in ways we never planned for, and difficult decisions have to be made even when our hearts are not ready for them.
Please know this decision was not made lightly. Every animal here is loved deeply, and every step moving forward will be made carefully and responsibly.
I know many people will feel sadness reading this because this farm has meant something special to so many families, volunteers, children, and supporters over the years. I feel that sadness too. Deeply.
At the same time, I’m trying to remind myself that endings are not failures. Sometimes they are simply the beginning of a new chapter that we cannot fully see yet.
Thank you to every single person who donated, volunteered, attended events, shared our posts, visited the farm, cried with us, celebrated with us, and believed in this dream. You helped create something truly beautiful here.
This farm may be changing, but the love behind it never will. ❤️
