The wind and rain have set in, and we’re already dreaming of warmer weather and our annual Spring Into Auction! Sanctuary One is kicking off our 6th annual online fundraising auction March 20th, 2024. From local art and jewelry, to gift certificates for your favorite restaurants and shops, the online auction is an opportunity to support the care farm while you treat yourself or a loved one!

 

The auction will be live online only for one full week. Bidding comes to a close on the 27th and there are opportunities to “buy it now” for select packages. Whether it’s Scavenger Hunts by Let’s Roam or Adventures from Scratch catches your eye for family fun, or you are more interested in a weekend getaway, Sanctuary One’s Spring Into Auction boasts diverse prize packages from generous local businesses. Working together in our community, we all benefit. 

 

Our motto is People, Animals and Earth: Better Together. With your support, the care farm continues to make this motto a reality. The gifts and experiences you purchase can save companion and farm animals, educate local youth about how to connect to nature, and supply local food banks with fresh produce grown in our Healing & Learning Garden.  If you have any questions or items you’d like to donate to the auction, please reach out by email at info@sanctuaryone.org

Check out the packages (new packages added weekly!) and mark your calendar!

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 ...
