Every trough on 32 acres is fed by a web of hoses snaking out from the house. In summer they kink. In winter they freeze. We're raising funds to run permanent water lines to all six pastures.
Current setup · garden hoses
Frost-free hydrants, buried PEX, one automatic float valve per pasture. This is the single most urgent infrastructure need for 52 animals.

Every animal here has a story worth telling. We narrate them with heart, humor, and a deep appreciation for just how much personality a single pig can have.
We started the channel because the stories we were telling around the kitchen table deserved more than a caption. Every episode is narrated by Tracy — warm, honest, and occasionally about Ralphie escaping.
In 2019 we left Utah and drove across the country to 32 acres we'd never seen in person. We didn't plan to start a sanctuary. The animals just kept finding us.
Cows. Horses. Donkeys. Sheep. Pigs. Dogs. Cats. Chickens. Each one arrived with a story, and each time we said yes. There are fifty-two of them now, and not one of them will ever be rehomed, returned, or left behind.
We made them a promise. That promise does not have an expiration date.
A rough sketch of the farm. Pastures, barns, and who you'll find where.
Every dollar turns directly into hay, grain, fencing, vet bills, and water lines. Here's what specific amounts do.
There is always work to be done, and the animals love the company.
Feeding, fence repair, social-media help, or just sitting with the donkeys. Tell us what you're good at.
We don't publish our physical address. We've had people tie animals to our gate in the middle of the night, and we simply don't have the capacity to take in every animal that arrives that way — no matter how much we'd like to.
If you need our mailing address for a donation or a legitimate visit, write to us and we'll send it over. Everyone is welcome — just not unannounced.
