Matt stayed with Sanctuary One for a month and quickly became a vital member of the Sanctuary One family.

I came to Sanctuary One to intern with the hopes of better understanding what the day to day operations look like for a farm sanctuary. I am in the early stages of starting one up in the Seattle area. From day one, the entire staff welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I had a great experience helping care for the animals on a daily basis and seeing a lot of what goes on behind the scenes to keep an organization like this successful. Everyone went out of their way to answer any questions I had and to involve me in operations I had expressed interest in. Caring for and getting to really know the animals that call Sanctuary One home was truly an amazing experience and I left having made many new friends (both two legged and four).

Our Executive Director, Megan Flowers, wanted to share a story from a recent field trip."A chaperone from the class I led was a grandma of a student. In the garden I shared how our produce goes from the garden beds to someone's kitchen within 48 hours; often 24 hours. I also mentioned that the type of produce we grow was decided by surveying people's needs and requests at The Teresa McCormick Center. The chaperone mentioned her 89 year old mom filled out the survey and was so excited to receive our fresh produce. I told her that she can now go back to her mom and tell her she's seen where the produce is grown!Our garden, lovingly tended by Jess and her team, served three generations - great grandmother, grandmother, and grandchild. Small town living = wide impact."People, animals, and the earth...better together! ... See MoreSee Less
