Skinny Latte sounded odd and was making more noise than us.

🥚 IT’S HAPPENING… OUR FIRST EMU IS HATCHING! 🐣

The day has finally come… our very first emu baby is hatching. 💛
The egg has pipped, we can see movement inside, and hear tiny chirps coming from within. It’s hard to describe the excitement of waiting all this time and now witnessing the very first signs of this little one entering the world.

There’s something almost prehistoric and magical about it—an ancient life stirring inside that beautiful dark green shell. Every wiggle, every peep, feels like a miracle.

Stay tuned… if all goes well, we may be welcoming our first emu chick very soon. We can hardly contain ourselves. 🥹✨

This is what we are hoping for with our two new llamas. It’s going to take a lot of trust building. Anyone visiting the farm is welcome to grab some alfalfa and help us gently build that relationship.

The more positive hands and calm energy they experience, the sooner we’ll be out on peaceful neighborhood and nature walks together. Come be part of the journey.

Yesterday Chestnut Nature Kids and Twin Lakes Riding Club brought a little bit of the ranch to a place where the days can sometimes feel very small.

Our tiny, warm, impossibly soft bunnies… and our gentle miniature horse walked slowly through the halls of a local retirement home. And something shifted.

Hands that don’t often reach very far reached out.
Eyes that seemed tired lit up.
Stories started flowing.

For many of these residents, access to the nature is limited. The feel of fresh air, the smell of animals, the simple joy of touching something living and warm — those experiences aren’t part of everyday life anymore.

But today they were.

One gentleman buried his hands in bunny fur and closed his eyes like he was remembering something from long ago. A woman whispered that she used to ride as a little girl. Another resident laughed — a deep, surprised laugh — when our miniature horse gently nuzzled her hand.

For a moment, the walls weren’t there.
For a moment, they were back in gardens, on farms, on trails, in younger bodies with wind on their faces.

Animals do something we can’t quite explain. They soften us. They unlock memory. They bring us back to ourselves.

We are so grateful to be able to share the magic of these animals beyond the ranch gates. The gift goes both ways — because our hearts left fuller than when we arrived.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a bunny cuddle or a tiny horse visit matters… I promise you, it does. 🤍
