Eddie and The Apple Tree

4/20/2019

The orchard, where Avalon the apple tree resides, is where all our animals spend time getting comfortable with their new home. And as fate would only have it here at The Farm way, all members of the apple tree family are incredibly cleansing, especially for the really sensitive of souls.
Eddie is one of these souls. As he is opening up and trusting us with his story, Eddie is helping us understand how the concept of the animal as a commodity seems to be the root cause of so many of them needing sanctuary.
“Animals incarnate on earth for experiences much like humans. Somehow this message got lost. Let’s rediscover it together.” Eddie the Prezel of The Farm Way
We will continue to share Eddie’s story as he shares it. It is an important one. Thank you, Eddie, we are honored to be your messenger and your sanctuary.

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.
