Olive has been up at Shauna’s house getting individualized attention and TLC this week. Because Olive is in her senior years (8 years old!), any slight change in behavior sets us on edge. Shauna has been keeping a close eye on her eating, drinking, and overall health day and night.

Happy to report, Olive is back to feeling better and ready to reunite with her friends down in the main barn. Sunny has been missing her tons!! Olive is happy to be back, but we’re sure she’s already missing her peaceful porch hangs with Shauna. 🤍

Today we got together to send off our amazing animal caretaker, Sarah, as she heads off to THE dream job: living onsite and caring for 200+ sanctuary residents! 🤩 While we couldn’t be happier for her and this next chapter, she will be so deeply missed around here. We are incredibly grateful for the love, dedication, and compassion she has poured into caring for our residents. They’ll miss seeing her around here and so will we. 😭💗

Of course, we had to celebrate with some extra special treats! 🧁 Thank you Sarah Lena Butler for making the cutest Ferd and Blitzen cupcakes! The boys loved seeing their faces in icing haha.

Thank you for everything, Sarah. You’ll always be part of the Wildwood family. Wishing you all the happiness in this next adventure! 💚🤠

The scariest horror story this season (and always) is the dairy industry and the mothers and babies trapped inside it.

Behind every dairy product is a mother whose body is caught in a cycle of repeated forced impregnation, pregnancy, and birth, only to have her babies taken away from her. Again and again, she experiences the traumatic loss of her children so humans can take the milk meant for them.

This cycle continues until her body can no longer produce what the industry demands. Then, she is sent to slaughter.

These mothers are not machines. They are individuals who form bonds with their babies, deserve to raise their children, and want to live free from a system that sees them as nothing more than a means of production.

The scariest part? This isn’t a horror story. It’s reality for countless mothers.

But we can choose a different path. By simply choosing the plant-based option, we can help create a world where mothers and their babies get to stay together.

The truth is heartbreaking, but it shouldn’t be hidden. Dairy is scary. 🥛💔

Last week we said goodbye to our sweet Violet. 💜 Violet was one of the Aurora hens rescued from a shut-down egg facility in April 2024. After a tough beginning, she got her chance at a happily ever after here at Wildwood, where she finally got to experience what sunshine, care, freedom, and love could feel like.

She was a curious little soul who was never too shy to hop right up on you if you had treats to offer. She got to spend her days exploring, following her curiosity, and being celebrated for being Violet.

Unfortunately, time and her poor little body worked against us, and we had to say goodbye. While we wish she could have had more time, we are so grateful she got to know a life beyond the one she was born into. She deserved every bit of the love she received, and we hope her time here showed her just how precious she was.

Violet was one of the lucky ones, but no hen should have to be lucky to experience a life where she matters. Her story is why our choices matter, why rescue matters, and why every hen deserves the chance to live as herself, free from the purpose someone else decided for her.

You were so loved, little one. We miss you so much and you will always be a part of this family. ♡
