We love Midsomer Murders!

And we can’t believe the show made up and published a domain without actually buying it…

While you’re here, we’d love for you to learn about our sanctuary and look at some cute animals!

Teagan and Hazel working to sort veggies from the Goose for the animals. We couldn't do it all without our team of teens!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #farmsanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescue #friendsnotfood #herewithusnotforus #govegan #goveg #vegan #veganfortheanimals #ani
Our @leap4animals day got disrupted in the most educational way! Unfortunately a bunch of our teens were sick but that meant that there were few enough of them that they could all come on Wicklow's clinic visit for his intake exam! They got to see hi
Welcome Wicklow and Glendalough! We are so thrilled to have these two not least because we so rarely get to rescue families together. Glendalough is 6 years old and was living on a production farm in Northern California. Due to many possible issues (
Meet Frankie! Named for St. Francis, Frankie is one of two roosters named by the animal ministry at @staugswhidbey as part of their generous $50/mo sponsorship. Frankie and Augie are brothers from the same clutch of eggs. Their guardians were one of
Welcome Acorn! We have missed having turkey energy around so much. Unlike Gourd and Delicata who have been bred to grow so fast they collapse even under sanctuary conditions, Acorn is a heritage breed (Bourbon Red). Even though he's already two years
Sven hung out with Sarah while she and teen volunteer Maliya prepped the basement room for an incoming lamb rescue! They've actually been here for a few days but we'll introduce publicly this weekend!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #farmsanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescue #fri
Snow days! Nothing I loved more as a kid, nothing I hate more as an adult 🤣.⁠ ⁠ We had two snow days and a late start last week. Gwen had such a great time playing in the snow but running a frozen farm sanctuary while your kindergartener is bouncing
💘 Our relationship can vote! ✅ ⁠ ⁠ Happy 18th anniversary, @smmsantosa. We have both changed so much since our teens, and I have found that every change is an opportunity to fall in love with you all over again. I fell in love with you as a theater
Last reminder! We have 1 table left Saturday and 2 tables left Sunday. Support the animals and have a delicious chef-crafted meal with your sweetie this weekend.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ballydidean.farm/lovebirds (Link in bio)⁠ ⁠ #farmsanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescue

We are so in love with the new boys in the dumped flock. They are all so sweet and dumb and goofy. Some updates in the last couple weeks:⁠ 1. Two of them have chosen to join Tumbledown flock as independent roos⁠ 2. One of them has become a very close
I mentioned the metal roofing we scored at an auction for about 60% off retail late last year. We still won't be able to install it until the rain stops this spring but with the spike in forecasted steel prices due to Canadian tariffs we are now doub
This move is called the cowboy moon tree. Because Gwen calls desert brush "cowboy trees" and she says she's doing a "moon move". 🤠🌛🌴⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #farmsanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescue #friendsnotfood #herewithusnotforus #govegan #gov
It's the tail end of pumpkin donation season and the cows are really going to miss it!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #farmsanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescue #friendsnotfood #herewithusnotforus #govegan #goveg #vegan #veganfortheanimals #animalsofinstagram #someonenotsomethin
Nothing better than a cow cuddle! Maliya started spending time with us as a babysitter for Gwen so Sarah and I could work outside but she pretty quickly took my spot outside with Sarah and has been helping us in all sorts of ways. We have been so imp
Our neighbor Ron just may be the sweetest man who has ever lived. He always sends us holiday cards on his custom Whidbey themed stationary. But this winter he used his design skills (and his laminator) to make a bespoke ⁠ Ballydídean deck of c
