Come out and tour the care farm! We offer public tours on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:30 am until about noon. Tickets are $10 (children 2 and under are free). During the tour you will be able to meet the animals and see our gardens. You can make a day of it by seeing the McKee Covered Bridge, driving up to Applegate Lake, perhaps a visit to one of the wineries or lavender farms in the valley, and lunch in Ruch. Please register on our website- we look forward to seeing you at the care farm! sanctuaryone.org/visit-volunteer/sanctuary-tours/ ... See MoreSee Less

Recently we had Shearie McShearie's Shearing Service come and shear the wool sheep we have at the care farm, and he did a great job. It's important to shear wool sheep to keep them comfortable and healthy, and he does this in a very stress-free way, and the sheep feel so much better afterward! We also have eight Katahdin sheep staying with us, and they are hair sheep, which means that they do not need to be sheared. Katahdin sheep are adaptable, hardy, and low-maintenance. Ideal for pasture and grass-based systems, Katahdin sheep adapt well to different environments, tolerating heat, humidity, and parasites. Katahdin sheep are docile and easy to handle, with a moderate flocking instinct. Spring is the perfect time to adopt these sweet sheep, with all the new growth. These little "natural lawnmowers" can definitely help you keep your weeds at bay!

May is Mental Health Awareness MonthAt Sanctuary One, we believe healing happens when people connect with nature, animals, and each other. Our care farm is more than just a peaceful place—it’s a space where individuals can experience the proven mental health benefits of being outdoors, working with their hands, and forming meaningful connections.Studies show that care farming—therapeutic experiences involving farm activities, animals, and natural settings—can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve self-esteem, and create a sense of belonging. We see this firsthand through our programs that support students, volunteers, service learners, and visitors alike.As tour season kicks off, we invite you to come experience the power of care farming for yourself:🌿 Take a tour of the farm and meet the animals🐾 Volunteer your time in the garden or with animal care🌞 Reconnect with what matters—yourself, your community, and the earthThis Mental Health Awareness Month, let Sanctuary One be a place where wellness takes root.📅 Learn more and schedule your visit: sanctuaryone.org ...
