A Look Behind the Barn Doors

Goat Fund Us: Update #54

Hello everyone,

Time for another update from the farm – and this is not at all what I had planned to write about – but we just had an unexpected development that ended in an abrupt goodbye.
Farm life isn’t always as idyllic and easy as it looks from the outside and with a farm of the animal population similar to a small village and a large human community in the form of visitors, volunteers and staff, there is a lot that happens in the course of one day – and the days often end very differently than they’ve begun.

Goat Fund Us: Update #53

Hello everyone,

The farm has now been open for over a month, we had a really good start to this season. To get this little but special place ready to open up to visitors again, we did a lot of clean up, renovation and improvements and what feels like endless hours of last minute chores.
(…)

Now I’d like to give a look into Rosie’s life again. Another year has gone by, we’ve just celebrated this unique, loving, smart and head strong goat turning 5 years – she is a real grownup even though for me she will always be this lost little kid that just needed warmth, food and love – just really needed a mum.

Goat Fund Us: Update #52

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all the good wishes starting into the new year and your support to the animals and the farm – this is so much appreciated for all their daily care while we are getting ready for a new season.

As promised in our last update I’d like to tell you more about our piggies’ big surgery adventure, from preparations, the big day and the recovery.

Goat Fund Us: Update #51 & Looking back onto 2025

Hello everyone,

We hope you all had a relaxing holiday season in good company, with delicious treats and filled with happy stories and big smiles, followed by a good start into 2026.

While this new year is well on its way, I would like to take a moment to look back onto 2025 to reflect on selected happenings from our year with the animals. It’s always difficult to decide which events to put a spotlight on for you as there are so many facets to just one year at the farm.

Goat Fund Us: Update #50

Hello everyone,
It’s winter at the farm which simply means the weather is less agreeable and we are closed to the public, but apart from that we still provide the same daily care for the animals as well as getting them and the farm ready for the colder temperatures. This involves tidying up, packing away supplies, insulating and winterizing, and clearing out at least a million leaves.

Goat Fund Us: Update #49

Hi everyone,

Initially I had planned to write an update about the farm being closed, how our season was and how great it felt celebrating our 40th anniversary together with you. But that will be in a later update.

Unfortunately, I’m about to share some sad news with you as our closing this year was overshadowed by a big loss of a very special farm resident. With a heavy heart and lots of tears we had to say goodbye to our senior farm cat Leo ”the Lion”.

Goat Fund Us: Update #47

Hello everyone,

The farm is now already open for almost three months and everything is in full swing. While the farm is not as busy as other seasons, the care of the animals and the work around the farm keeps us all very busy.
Today we like to share some updates from the animals and news from around the farm. This year marks our 40th farm anniversary – this might sound like a small feat to some – but the start of this precious farm, building it up, always making changes and improvements and the constant effort and determination, care and dedication, tears and love to keep it going are a testament to what this little great place means to all of us. This is a celebration of building and maintaining something special together.

Goat Fund Us: Update #46

Hello everyone,

Our season has started and the farm has been open for more than a month – time simply flies. People often ask “how is it going?” and there is no easy answer to this. It is going “a lot” but the important thing is that we are always going forward. Each year getting this precious place ready for opening seems like a tremendously big undertaking, a tall mountain to climb with many steep steps just before the summit, but the team – strong with experienced staff and reinforced by new very motivated staff – stood together and we got there.
It felt great to open up, the first few days always feel like welcoming old familiar faces back and swapping stories about the past months. It was really awesome to see you all again.
There are several new things at the farm, but I’ll tell you about those next time.

I would like to use this update to tell you about Rosie’s adventures and accomplishments in 2024. This month Rosie is going to turn four and for me that is a great opportunity to look back at her eventful year.
