It’s true that your place seems very peaceful and relaxed. I can imagine that not every sanctuary is the same. It would be awesome to come out there to volunteer and meet your critters. Hopefully this Covid situation gets under control soon. Do you think you’ll ever have some of your followers come over to volunteer when the time is right?

I tell everyone, “Sure! We will have volunteers!” - But honestly.. I don’t like strangers in my personal space or near the animals or on my property. Farm animals are dangerous and unpredictable. The cows are flighty and HUGE. The goats have horns (I cannot tell you how many times I have been sitting with one and almost lost my eye to a horn).

I think that, in the future, we will have dedicated volunteers that pledge one day a week and know exactly what they are doing. One day a month, we will allow the public to visit and donate and stand behind fences and take photos….. Maybe we will have a campout or something once or twice in the summer. We can cook them vegan dinners and come up with some fun farm games or something.

I want dedicated adults (I don’t even care if they are vegan/vegetarian) - And I want them here weekly. I want them to know the animals and their behaviors and personalities. I want them to know and understand the rules for their safety and the safety of the animals.

I am finding that more and more sanctuaries do not allow people to randomly volunteer….. And it sort of makes me feel better. Because I don’t feel comfortable with it.
