Let me start again by saying how thankful we are for all the donations that we received especially since the last update. I can only imagine that the news of the farm maybe not opening this season must have been disappointing for many of you. We are all the more grateful for all the support that you’ve sent our way be it in the form of kind messages in acknowledgement of our situation as well as many donations. THANK YOU ALL!
Hello everyone, I feel the time has come for this update and this step, but it still is very difficult for me to find the right words. There has been lots happening all around us, first a long time of businesses and places being closed and now some of them are slowly reopening.
Hello everyone, last week we had a lovely surprise that I would like to share with you. In the middle of our normal daily routine of taking care of the animals as well as trying to make some plans a large donation cheque was dropped of with one of the staff. When I went down to the fence to thank the donor in person I learned the story behind this donation, a story that shows how diverse and innovative the community supporting the farm is.
Hello everyone, I have some more good news to share tonight as we were able to secure a couple of big loads of sawdust for the animals. That might sound rather insignificant but it’s very important to keep the animals on clean and dry bedding to provide a safe and healthy environment. Lately sawdust and shavings were difficult to get and since there are many farms and animals owners on this island there must be a high demand for bedding material.
Hello everyone, it is really time to give you an update from the farm. It’s been a little while since the last one but we’ve all been busy taking care of the animals as well as organizing help and supplies. Like for everyone else, this situation is still very foreign and new to us with its many challenges, multiple problems and countless questions. We don’t know how long this might be going on for and, although this uncertainly is difficult, we are trying to plan ahead as good as we can.
Today I’m happy that I can share some great and uplifting news with you. First let me start again with a huge THANK YOU to all our supporters. Seeing your continuous support coming into the campaign be it through donations as well as all your positive and encouraging messages is really heartwarming and gives us hope in these uncertain times of which we don’t know how long they will go on for.
Hello everyone, tonight I like to share something with you that happened yesterday. It is a matter very close to my heart, as it concerns my favourite goat Sunshine who had already mastered quite a challenge in her life.
Hello everyone, this is our first update on the fundraising campaign and I really would like to use this opportunity to say THANK YOU!!! None of us at the farm had expected to find that much support and generosity in the community as well as from different places all over the world.
The Beacon Hill Children’s Farm is a small local family farm in Victoria, British Columbia. The farm might be small in size but we are proud to provide a loving home to more than a hundred farm animals. Over the past 35 years we were so fortunate to be able to share this amazing experience of living with and caring for these animals with lots of visitors – tourists and locals alike.
