🌻🌿Our Thank You Picnic — Saturday 22nd August, 2–5pm
We’re opening the gates for a relaxed community afternoon to say a huge, heartfelt thank you for everything you did during the wildfire evacuation.
On Monday 3rd August, a wildfire broke out behind the farm and we had to evacuate all of our rescue animals. From one plea for help on Facebook, our community mobilised instantly. Over 100 people arrived at the farm to create fire breaks, move animals to safety, and offer temporary homes. Messages and calls poured in from people offering support, and hundreds more shared the post to help spread the word. Your kindness, speed, and generosity made an overwhelming situation manageable — and reminded us how lucky we are to be part of this community.
This Saturday, we’d love to welcome you back to the farm for a gentle afternoon of gratitude. Come meet the animals, see the space you helped protect, and enjoy a picnic together. Please bring your own food and drinks.
Toilet facilities are limited, but handwash stations will be available. The toddler tipi will be open for little ones (no shoes inside, please).
This isn’t a fundraiser or an event — just a chance for us to say thank you in person. 🌻🌿
