A Different Kind of Farm

Gus has only been with us a few months, but he acts like he’s been here forever. He’s appointed himself official bird inspector, and takes the job very seriously! Today is the Kaporos rescues’ first full day out in the barnyard, and Gus is keeping a close eye on everyone. 🐐🐓

Behind the scenes of the City Goat Farm 2027 calendar photo shoots! 📸🐐 Getting our rescued residents to pose for photos is about as easy as you'd imagine. 😂 Here are a few of our favorite outtakes! Stay tuned — our 2027 calendars are coming soon, featuring 12 months of adorable faces and supporting the animals who call City Goat Farm home! ❤️

Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins! 🎃🐐 A HUGE thank you to @buhrmasterfarms for donating a whole bunch of pumpkins for our rescued animals to enjoy! The crew is going to be happily munching for days. 🧡 We're so grateful for local businesses that help keep our bellies full and food out of the waste stream!

On Monday, we discovered that Katie, one of our gentlest rescued sheep, had suddenly developed a severe infection in her right eye. Thankfully, our vet was able to come out the next day for emergency treatment. We don't yet know if we'll be able to save her eye or preserve her vision, but we're doing everything we can. Her eye is now stitched closed to help it heal, and while she's understandably uncomfortable, she's otherwise doing well. Someone recently asked if we receive discounted veterinary care as a rescue. Unfortunately, we don't. We're incredibly grateful for the veterinarians who care for our animals, but large animal veterinary care is expensive for everyone. Katie's initial vet bill was $512, and we don't yet know what additional care she'll need. As a small, 100% volunteer-run rescue, bills like this add up quickly. If you'd like to help with Katie's care, donations of any amount are greatly appreciated through our website or Venmo (links in profile). Thank you for helping us give Katie the care she deserves! ❤️

🎃 It's time… 🎃 Halloween is over, but pumpkin season is just getting started at City Goat Farm! 🐐🐷🦃 Our rescued farm animals would LOVE to help you get rid of those leftover pumpkins! Throughout November, stop by anytime to drop off your uncarved, undecorated pumpkins. No paint, glitter, candles, or other decorations, please! ♻️ Less waste, happy animals, full bellies. Everybody wins! 🧡

Goat glamour shots, brought to you by collard greens, apples, and some very happy goats. 🐐📸🍎🥬 Gilbert, Blaze, and Bianca were more than happy to show off their latest snack delivery! Huge thanks to our MVPs, Natalie and Bill, for being the best food waste heroes and delivery drivers around! Thanks to them, perfectly good food stays out of the landfill and goes straight into some very appreciative bellies. ❤️
