Today we’re celebrating National I Love Horses Day by sharing some photos of just a few of our beloved horses here at Cracker Box Palace!
Each of these beautiful animals has their own story, and we feel so lucky to care for them.

Drop a🐴 in the comments if you love horses as much as we do and let us know your favorite horse memory!

RIP TO OUR BLACK CAT “BEAR” 😢: Bear was born July of 2012. He was 13 yrs old and 1 of 3 cats that came to us from a woman diagnosed with cancer who had surrendered them to us. He had been on the farm for the past 7 years. He loved people and loved to wrap himself around your neck when you held him. He will be missed on the farm by all who knew him and by his two cat buddies, Duster and Oliver. 😢

Here’s a quick clip of Jagger baling hay for the rescue animals we support here at the farm.
We’re grateful for the hard work that helps keep everything running smoothly and ensures the animals are well cared for.

We’re especially excited to be partnering with some amazing local talent. Farmhouse Table Food will be serving up a delicious meal crafted from locally sourced ingredients, and Colloca Estate Winery is perfectly pairing wines with both dinner and dessert.
