Afternoon Siestas #TheFarmWay

9/18/2019

Sweet Iris still loves to take her afternoon siestas at the house patio.

Iris was less than a day old when we rescued her. She fit in the palm of our hands. We bottle fed her. She lived in our house and was potty trained within hours of being with us. She figured this out on her own. We simple put a litter try in her playpen with her wondering (hoping!) she would know what to do. She did. #SomePig!

We understand eating meat is a part of our culture and many others. The animals (and our son) helped us to ask our selves the question of who was going to decide what would be on our dinner plate: Society or Us. We have been meat free for three years now.

I wanted to express my gratitude for your insightful and engaging article. Your writing is clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated the way you presented your ideas in a thoughtful and organized manner. Your analysis was both thought-provoking and well-researched, and I enjoyed the real-life examples you used to illustrate your points. Your article has provided me with a fresh perspective on the subject matter and has inspired me to think more deeply about this topic.

In the fall of 2011, Mike and I moved to a small farm in Central Illinois where we immediately found ourselves rescuing horses. The rescue was not part of our original plan, but we felt the calling while doing a search for a pair of ponies we did plan on caring for on the farm. Since childhood, my entire extended family and I have been horse owners. Mike and I wanted to continue this tradition. Upon searching the internet for a pair of ponies, we were overwhelmed with the number of horses that needed a rescue and/or a home.

So, enter Princess and Geronimo, the first two rescues. They were both severely malnourished and uncared for. Mike and Nicole adopted them both. To this day, we are still helping them open to all of their best possibilities.

After Princess and Geronimo arrived, a third horse, Hero, came to the farm. At this point we reached capacity on our small farmette, but we knew we weren’t done.

The Farm Way Sanctuary became a non profit Corporation in April of 2014.

It has taken us four years, the birth of our beautiful, horse-ready son, a barn fire, getting outbid on another farm, regrouping our entire family at Maytown Farm, a rockin’ farmraiser, an incredible angel family, Grandma Nancy, and being homeless like little tiny baby Jesus on Christmas Eve to bring us here, to our forever farm in Whiteside County, IL. in the winter of 2016.

This farm is our ideal space to provide sanctuary for horses and other animals in need. As well as, allow The Farm Way Sanctuary to build the facilities needed for programs and programming that educate and minister the spirit and warmth of the horses, mother earth and one another to children, their families, individuals and groups.
