Ever wonder where all those pumpkins go when the season is over? 🐷

On Monday, November 2, we headed over to Taves Family Farms in Abbotsford to collect pumpkins from their fall displays and bring them back for our rescued animals at our farm sanctuary to enjoy.

They have been growing pumpkins for the public since 1991, and each year they grow a little extra to keep their displays looking beautiful throughout the season. Once the season wraps up, we collect the leftover pumpkins so they don't go to waste.

A big thank you to Loren and everyone at Taves Farms for sharing with our herd year after year. They're a wonderful local family farm, and we're happy to have them as neighbours! 💙🌾

Yer a wizard, Scooter! 🐮

Looks like Scooter has discovered his magical side this Halloween, although we're pretty sure his idea of wizardry involves turning an empty feed bucket into one overflowing with pears.

We're not sure he's mastered any other spells yet, but judging by that serious expression, he's giving it plenty of thought. Preferably without having to get up!

Happy Halloween from Scooter and all of us at The Happy Herd! 💙

Today we're celebrating Smudge and Puddin's 8th RescueVersary! 🐐

Eight years ago, just before Halloween, we welcomed two tiny goats who had been rescued by the RCMP from a backyard where they were being raised for meat. They arrived needing a safe place to call home, and we had no idea they were bringing a few surprises with them!

Both girls were pregnant, and a few months later we were welcoming their babies. Sadly, one little one didn't make it, but Bubbles, Squeak, and Tinker grew up right here at The Happy Herd.

Today, Smudge and Puddin are still inseparable, still full of sass, and very much in charge of their little family. It's hard to believe those two goats who arrived in the back of a police cruiser have now been with us for eight years.

We're so grateful to everyone who has helped us care for this family over the years. Watching their youngsters grow up knowing nothing but a safe home, familiar faces, and plenty of good food has been such a lovely part of sanctuary life.

Happy RescueVersary, Smudge and Puddin! We're so glad you're ours. 💙

Today, we're remembering our sweet Leo, a very special little rooster who gave us so many wonderful memories in his three short years. 🐔

Leo was never one to stay home when there was an outing planned. Whether we were heading to the Aldergrove Community Market or enjoying lunch on the patio at To Live For Bakery, Leo was happy to come along. With his little harness on and some fresh greens to enjoy, he was quite content being part of the day. We always loved seeing the smiles when people realized there was a rooster joining us for lunch!

Although we're heartbroken to have said goodbye to Leo so young, we're grateful for the life he shared with us. Thank you to everyone who met Leo, followed his adventures, and shared in his life with us. We're going to miss him very much. 💙

The herd is convinced that Halloween costumes might mean even more pumpkins from our friends at Taves Family Farms this year! 🎃

Remy the goat, Sprout the sheep, and Garth the pig are already dressed for the occasion. We’re not sure how the costumes are supposed to influence the pumpkin supply, but they seem pretty confident about it! 🐑🐐🐷

And with LOTS of pumpkins coming their way, we don't think anyone will be disappointed. 🐽
