📚🐴 BOOKS & BURROS! 🐴📚

What if purchasing a book for your child could help put another book into the hands of someone who might not otherwise have access to one? ❤️

That's the heart behind Books & Burros, a community literacy program at Rescued Ranch that brings together books, nature, and the gentle companionship of our rescued burros, Brayve and Freedom!

Through our Scholastic Book Club, families can purchase affordable books for children of all ages, from picture books and early readers to chapter books and beloved classics. There are even some wonderful $2 books and value packs!

📚 And there's so much more to explore! Scholastic offers multiple monthly flyers for different ages and grade levels, special value bundles, and coupons for FREE book picks with qualifying purchases. The flyer shared here is just one of many!

🌱 Every purchase helps grow something bigger!

Rescued Ranch and Steward & Seed are sister organizations working together to nurture compassion, connection, and community. Books & Burros is a Rescued Ranch program that combines the joy of reading with the healing connection of animals and nature. Our sister nonprofit, Steward & Seed, helps extend that mission beyond the ranch by bringing educational resources and opportunities to underserved members of our community.

Every book purchased through our Scholastic Book Club earns rewards that help us provide FREE books through Steward & Seed to foster youth, seniors, and other individuals and families who face barriers to accessing books.

It's a simple way to turn a book purchased into a gift multiplied!

📖 How Books & Burros Works:

🐴 Browse the Scholastic Book Club selections and place your order by November 1st.

🌳 Pick up your books at Rescued Ranch, where families can enjoy a little time outdoors, read beneath the trees, and visit with Brayve and Freedom during our Open Ranch Days.

🚗 Can't make it to the ranch? We can arrange a book drop off!

❤️ Your purchase helps us share the joy of reading beyond the ranch through Steward & Seed's community literacy efforts.

At Rescued Ranch, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens through connection with books, animals, nature, and one another.

One book. One reader. One little seed of possibility. 🌱

📚 Orders due November 1st!

🍂🏡 Fall Into Calm with Box Breathing! 🌲

As the seasons change, it’s a wonderful time to remind our littles (and ourselves!) to slow down, take a breath, and find a little calm.

🌿 Have you tried Box Breathing?

This simple mindfulness technique uses four equal steps to help calm the nervous system, ease feelings of stress, and support emotional regulation.

🏡 Using our cozy log cabin, trace each side with your finger:

🍃 Breathe IN for 4 counts
🍃 HOLD for 4 counts
🍃 Breathe OUT for 4 counts
🍃 HOLD for 4 counts

Repeat a few times, breathing gently and comfortably.

Why does it work? 🧠

Slow, intentional breathing can activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, helping us shift away from the stress response and toward a calmer state. For children, this can support focus, emotional regulation, and readiness to learn.

🍁 Practice together on a crisp fall morning, after a busy school day, or while winding down before bedtime. For younger children, start with shorter counts and skip the holds if they’re uncomfortable.

💛 Remember, self-regulation is learned through connection, practice, and modeling.

🌱 Please feel free to print and share! Add our Steward & Seed Log Cabin Box Breathing guide to your refrigerator, homework folder, or classroom calming corner.

Growing Generational Wellness — one breath at a time.

Happy Fall! 🍂
🍎 October is for apples!

From spring blossoms buzzing with pollinators to crisp fall fruit ready for harvest, an apple has quite a story to tell.

This month, Steward & Seed is exploring apples through the lens of agriculture…how they grow, the farmers and pollinators that help bring them to our tables, the many varieties grown here in California, and the healthy soil and water that make it all possible.

And of course, there’s always an Ag Tidbit tucked in. 🌱🍎

Because when children understand where their food comes from, they begin to see the connections between people, farms, animals, and the earth and how they can help care for all of it.

🍎 What’s your favorite apple variety or your favorite apple treat? Apple pie? Applesauce? Apple crisp? Or just a perfectly crunchy apple straight from the tree?

Good food grows a brighter tomorrow. ☀️

🍂🍁 Happy first day of Fall!

The autumnal equinox marks our passage from summer into fall, a moment when the Sun crosses Earth’s equator and day and night are nearly equal in length.

From here, our days will continue to grow shorter, temperatures will begin to cool, and the natural world will respond in ways both big and small. Leaves will change, seeds will scatter, animals will prepare for the seasons ahead, and the landscape around us will slowly take on the colors of autumn.

It’s a beautiful time to step outside, notice what is changing, and let nature remind us that every season has something to teach us.

Happy Fall from Steward & Seed. 🌾

Fall offers a beautiful invitation to step outside, slow down, and notice what nature has already provided. 🍂

Gather fallen leaves, seedpods, grasses, vines, pinecones, and small branches, then bring them home and create something beautiful with your hands. A simple fall wreath becomes more than seasonal decor. It holds the memory of a walk, the textures of the season, and time spent connecting with the living world.

Choosing natural materials also allows us to leave behind plastic foliage, foam, and glitter that can eventually break down into microplastics. When the season is over, many of our gathered materials can simply return to the earth.

Forage thoughtfully, gather only where you have permission, and always leave plenty for wildlife and the land.

Get outside. Look closely. Gather gently. Create freely. Care deeply. This is how we grow connection and stewardship, one small act at a time. 🌿🤎

How fun is this?! 🎃🌻

Bishop & Company Farm is inviting local youth serving nonprofits and organizations to create a scarecrow for its 2026 Scarecrow Contest! What a wonderful way to showcase your organization, spark a little creativity, and add some fall whimsy to the pumpkin patch.

Tag an organization that should join the fun! I can hardly wait to see what everyone creates. 🍂
