Making an Impact & Gaining Knowledge

 

Are you thinking about working on a farm? Do you see a future working with animals, but need some hands-on experience? Our farm internships provide that and much more. All interns take part in the daily operations of the farm, performing a wide array of chores, from feeding and herding farm animals to moving irrigation pipe and bucking hay. Interns also help guide tours, learn and practice the principles of permaculture, help rehabilitate and socialize farm animals and participate in special projects.

 

 

We asked Haley, our Sanctuary One intern for January 2018, about her thoughts and takeaways for her month stay.

Interning at Sanctuary One has been an incredible learning journey about the intricacies of what it takes to keep a care farm operating. Immersing myself through learning about the earth and animals helped to deepen my understanding of self at the same time. The knowledgeable staff make learning both fun and enriching. The high level of care shown at Sanctuary One taught me how to care for the earth, animals, and people with a high level of respect and dedication. Thank you Sanctuary One staff and volunteers for your guidance and support, you have all helped me immensely toward my future dream of starting a nonprofit care farm as well!

Duckie, now Daisy, came to us after we received a phone call from the City of Medford that a duck had flown into their 2nd story building. Concerned employees rushed out to help the duck and Jennifer, a city employee, took Duckie home for the night until Colleen could meet up with her the next morning. As seen in the pictures, Duckie loved to swim in Jennifer's bathroom sink! After reading an ad that a neighbor was searching for a companion for her solo duck Margot, Colleen quickly reached out to her neighbor and the rest is history- Daisy and Margot are now bff’s!Update from adopter:"Daisy is adorable, she perches up on the awning and watches the world go by. Sometimes she gets after Margot duck because that silly duck still quacks all day long...ugh... She's really a wonderful girl and we're happy to have her ☺️Maggie and Preston" ... See MoreSee Less

So how about this factoid: A small group of ladybugs is known as a “loveliness” (!) Volunteer Week 2024 could be compared to the swarming of multiple “lovelinesses” of ladybugs making their way to the farm to benefit our garden ecosystems. Ladybugs are both significant pollinators, as well as feeders on other insects (like aphids and lace bugs) who can wreak havoc on a garden when their populations are out of balance. Ladybugs help bring beauty and balance to our gardes, just like our deeply appreciated volunteers. Here are just a few photos of some of such critters from Volunteer Week 2024! 🐞 ... See MoreSee Less
