There is profound beauty in watching an animal's story change direction in a single afternoon. Today was one of those entirely transformative experiences that so deeply touch our hearts.
Our newest sheep arrivals still have a long road ahead of them—many of them literally have to relearn how to walk. But for the first time in a very long time, they will be doing it on clean, balanced hooves, backed by a proper diet and the specialized care they need for long-term health.
There are no farrier manuals that cover the level of neglect we tackled today. It required creativity, grit, and deep devotion to animals in need, and we could not have done this work without our dear friend, Emily Ellsworth of Flip Side Hoof Care. Emily has been improving the lives of our pigs for years, but today she pivoted to a task that was infinitely more complicated. She found ways—and used tools—we hadn't even envisioned to give these sheep the fighting chance they deserve.
The photos below truly speak for themselves. The swamp is behind them, and their healing is officially underway.
✨ HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THEIR RECOVERY JOURNEY ✨
As many of you know, we decided to postpone our recent Roots & Radiance celebration so that our team could focus entirely on the mission of the farm, including this emergency rescue. We still have the beautiful, exclusive shirts and bags that we planned to introduce at the event, and we have decided to sell them now to offset the ongoing veterinary, farrier, and rehabilitative care for these sheep.
Because the thumbnails on our ordering page are a bit small, we have included clear, full-sized pictures of the shirts and bags at the end of the photo gallery below so you can see the designs!
If you'd like to grab some beautiful gear and support these sweet souls at the same time, you can purchase them directly through our secure Stripe links in the first comment below. 👇
Thank you for standing by us, for being part of our incredible village, and most importantly, for loving these beautiful sheep.🩷
