Today, we’re feeling profound gratitude for the team at the Nederland Co-op / Mountain People’s Co-op.

The “scraps” we receive from the Co-op are as far from any definition of scraps as you can get. They’re beautiful, fresh greens that help supplement our animals’ diets—especially in the cold months, when meals are mostly hay and grain.

Honestly: the humans and the animals at Gilpin Grateful Acres get excited every time Cale tells us the Co-op is on the phone and has “scraps.” It’s become one of our favorite calls.

And yesterday…on one of the coldest, snowiest days we’ve had this year, an employee from the Co-op still made the delivery. That kind of care and community support means more than we can put into words.

Thank you—truly—to every employee at the Nederland Co-op / Mountain People’s Co-op.
The animals feasted tonight. 💚🥦

(If you love the Co-op too, drop a thank-you in the comments so the staff sees it.)

Happy Piggy Monday!
We want to wish a warm welcome to our new residents: Boris and Pumpkin ❤️ 🐷 Ryan has been working tirelessly to prepare their new home as their current home was desperately need for a new septic tank. After an extended amount of time without proper septic, their family made the heart breaking decision to relocate them to the Sanctuary.
Pumpkin had some hesitation unloading but Boris wasted no time getting comfortable! The rest of the farm, however, is a little apprehensive of our new friends….
To ease the transition, and because it’s the holidays, we sent our wishlist to Santa early, and gifts are on the way! If you would like to contribute, every dollar matters. Though we have had unseasonably warm weather, graze is still minimal and this time of year is when we need donations the most.
Thank you as always for your support. Private tours are still available on select Sundays/Mondays while the weather is nice!

Hey there, neighbors! A huge shout out to all of the hardy Mountain folks that braved the rain ☔️ to come and support us for our event last weekend! I hope you all enjoyed all of our hard work. Even though it poured, we had some great music🎶 , delicious pizza 🍕 ,and wonderful company. The animals of course always love a party! 🎉 In between rain storms, adults and children alike all enjoyed several laps through the haunted 👻 woods where fog, spooky lights and laughter filled the empty space between the trees. It was so much fun!!!!!!More pictures coming soon!

A HUGE Thank you to 🍕 Black Hawk Pizza 🍕 for providing a warmer and yummy pizza all night, Curly, Shawn, Crunchy and Paul for providing cozy jams, and Kailee Starkey with Starkey Visuals for the memory capturing photography. THANK YOU to BRIAN!!! You were our only volunteer and totally rocked it in the rain!!! THANK YOU to our good friends, Tommy and Amanda, who drove up from Arizona for the event and ended up selling pizza and t shirts all night, we couldn’t have done it without you!

While the rain may have put a damper on our fundraiser, and deterred people from coming out, know that no matter the weather, ❄️ 🌧️ 💨 we are here caring for the animal companions with all of our hearts. We are not a fair-weather sanctuary. All of the resident animals come before our personal comfort; Being cold, wet, hungry or exhausted never stops us from providing the best care. 🌈 We don’t do this for us. We do it for them. We do it because they need us. We continue through the worst weather with love in our hearts💕 and a smile 😊 on our faces. Even if you didn’t make it out last weekend, your continuous support helps keep us feeling warm and dry on those dark, wet, cold nights and your monetary donations keep the animals bellies full and happy.
Thank you all again for your love and support!!
Always Grateful,
Abby and Ryan
