As we close another year, we’re filled with immense gratitude and joy for the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together. This year has been a shining example of the power of community, compassion, and collective effort, a journey that resonates deeply with our mantra: #KindnessLivesHere.
A Sanctuary of Hope and Healing
Our sanctuary has been a beacon of hope for many. This year, we welcomed over 650 guests, each leaving with a heart full of memories and a deeper understanding of our mission. They’ve witnessed firsthand the love and care we provide to our residents, from the wooly sheep to the graceful horses.
Nourishing Bodies and Souls
Our commitment to promoting a plant-based lifestyle has reached new heights. We’ve shared vegan meals with 551 individuals through our seasonal suppers and ranch snacks. These gatherings aren’t just about food; they’re about sharing, learning, and growing together.
Cultivating Kindness
Our hands have been busy in the soil, growing over 2,000 pounds of food. This bounty not only nourished our animal residents but also our local community, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and compassion.
Expanding Our Capabilities
This year saw the construction of our medical barn, a significant step forward in providing the best care for our residents. We also invested in a Class IV Laser, enhancing our medical treatments, and completed our build out on our amazing outdoor, open fire chef’s kitchen, furthering our plant-based advocacy.
A Time of Joy and Reflection
While we said a heartfelt goodbye to Perla, Lawson, Garfunkel, and Makeba, their memories continue to inspire us. We also grew our ranch family by welcoming Ruby Rae and 14 hens, each with their unique personalities and stories.
Looking Ahead
With your unwavering support, we have exciting plans for the future. We aim to build an exam and medical center for our aging pig herd and replace fencing in our upper goat and sheep pasture. These projects are vital in ensuring our residents continue to thrive.
Heartfelt Gratitude
To our staff, volunteers, board members, and supporters, your contributions have been invaluable. Together, we’ve created a sanctuary where #KindnessLivesHere, not just in words but in every action.
A Special Tribute
We extend a special thanks to Jen Sale, our founder and leader, whose vision and dedication have been the cornerstone of Sale Ranch. Without her, this sanctuary of kindness wouldn’t exist. We also appreciate Dave Sale for his tireless behind-the-scenes work, ensuring our ranch runs smoothly.
As we look forward to another year of growth and compassion, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our journey. Here’s to more milestones, shared meals, and happy tales in the year to come!
