Tomorrow is GivingTuesday, a global movement of generosity where millions of people join together to lift up the organizations that make the world kinder.

At Wildwood Farm Sanctuary, your GivingTuesday support helps rescued animals live life to the fullest—even our most elderly ones. As the rainy winters grow harsher and our herd grows older, they face mobility challenges that are not helped by muddy terrain. This year our plan is to renovate their home to fit their needs and make them cozier. 💛

Our senior cows like Moose, Tilly, and Spanky, have been inseparable since arriving at Wildwood in 2014. Now 11 years older and living with arthritis, navigating muddy hills puts painful strain on their joints and keeps them from socializing like they once did.

This GivingTuesday, your gift helps fund essential pasture improvements like drainage and leveling, giving our geriatric residents safer, steadier ground to roam. And with a $5000 matching gift from vegan chef Nora Taylor, your impact goes twice as far!

🎁 As a gift, supporters this year will receive a special recipe straight from ‘s kitchen to say thank you for supporting our herd.

Let’s give our beloved bovine buddies a winter that’s gentler on their bodies and a sanctuary that stays dry enough for everyone to enjoy. 🐄

This Thanksgiving we have but one simple message: choose compassion. We lose nothing by being kind, especially to animals. They want to experience life and love, just like us, so let’s do our best to give them that chance.

🦃 Turkey Spotlight: Sunny 🦃

Sun-Sun, the spunkiest turkey around, is coming up on 3-months as a Wildwood resident. After being rescued from a large neglect case with his big brother, Walter, the pair found safety and comfort in sanctuary. Sunny is known for playfully chasing volunteers, crafting up his next mischievous act, and being an all-around expressive turkey. Sunny is… well, sunny! ☀️

Sunny is one of the lucky ones. He came to Wildwood at only a few months old, still a growing little tom (male turkey). Sunny may have had a scary past, but his bright future of sanctuary and freedom lies ahead. He will spend the rest of his life making friends, knowing respect and love, and living to the fullest.

Turkeys like Sunny deserve bright and beautiful futures—we can give this to them! Turkeys want to live, want to play, want to make friends, and want to love. Give them that chance and choose compassion. Choose to leave turkeys, and all farmed animals, off your table. 💛

Winter is coming and that means mud. A lot of it. 🐄💦

For our senior cows like Tilly, Spanky & Moose, navigating slippery, uneven pastures has become especially tough as arthritis makes every step harder. These three have called Wildwood home since 2014 after being rescued from dairy farms, and they’ve spent over a decade growing up together, forming the sweetest little herd. 💛

This GivingTuesday, we’re gearing up for a major pasture-improvement project: excavating soggy ground, adding drainage, and leveling terrain so our elderly cow residents can roam comfortably again. And soon we’ll be asking for your help to make it happen.

This year, thanks to the generosity of vegan chef, Nora Taylor of , gifts made to Wildwood will be matched up to $5,000 with supporters getting a special Nora Cooks recipe. 👀 🍰

Can we count on you to help our herd on December 2nd? Together, we can make life a whole lot less muddy for our beloved cows.

We held a beautiful and joyful ThanksLiving celebration last Sunday, honoring our turkey residents and their rescued friends. It was a wholesome time spent with our Wildwood community, serving and marveling at our friends while letting them know how much we love and respect each and every one of them.

With each ThanksLiving, we get to reinforce the promise to our residents that they are safe, free, and will never be put in harm’s way again. Animals deserve dignity, respect, and autonomy. 🧡

Choose to give this promise with us this holiday season and all year long. Choose to be kind to animals.

10 days ‘til Giving Tuesday 🌱❤️

This year, we’re helping our senior cows beat the mud and we’ll need your help to do it. Stay tuned for the full story (and a delicious surprise from Nora Cooks). 👩‍🍳

Mark your calendars for December 2nd!

Every year, 270+ million turkeys are slaughtered for meat consumption and over 46 million are killed for Thanksgiving alone. Did you know Olive came incredibly close to becoming someone’s Thanksgiving dinner?

Activists and animal lovers negotiated the release of 100 turkeys - baby Olive among them - from one of many farms where hundreds of thousands of lives are taken every year. Most turkeys are only a few months old when they’re slaughtered… Olive is now 7 years old!

She and five of her sisters - Libby, Mercy, Sage, Pepper, Sophia - took their freedom ride all the way from Utah to Wildwood, where they finally had the chance to live the long, joyful life they deserved. While Olive’s sisters have since passed on to the forever pastures, Olive remains, a living testament to resilience and the power of compassion.

Olive’s story is one of triumph, miracle, and pure love. She was given the rare gift of sanctuary, where she could grow old in peace alongside her family. 💫💞

Let turkeys live. Leave them off your plate. There are so many Olives out there who want to live and we can choose to be part of their story.
