Today is World Kindness Day! 🌎 At Merrymac it is our mission to treat even the most vulnerable and abused beings with kindness. Many of them, like Bonnie here, have been deemed “worthless” by the world because they have no monetary value.

@themillschool802 Animal welfare starts by allowing students to learn to have a relationship with the animals that they are surrounded by.They have learned the stories of our animals, and they become dedicated to helping us accomplish our mission to take care of these animals in their forever lives.

He would eat them if we let him, but his waistline would tell you that he needs to stick to hay and horse grain. (Dewey on the left - he is a silly little pony)

After a week of rain in Vermont, our ducks are showing the fine art of dabbling in mud. This is a natural foraging behavior where the ducks sift through mud with their bills finding worms and insects while letting the inedible stuff fall away.

We had a case of identity theft here when an unrepentant imposter pretended to be Lily. 🐈

Baby Gertie is growing up so fast! She and her best friend Eloise arrived here back in March and it has been pure joy watching these happy, curious girls grow up together!

We are still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude that the judge ruled Olivia and Gladys will stay with us forever. We decided to do some special baking to celebrate! 🧁

Igor came in with a group of turkey chicks back in July, but since he is nearly blind his brothers were starting to bully him. 😢 This is why he has been moved to the indoor area where our other special needs birds live! He’s getting spoiled with lots of love, treats, and enrichment like his bells!

Handsome Hawthorn and our other big wethers enjoying pumpkins! If you don't know, a wether is a castrated male sheep (or goat).

We had a new arrival last week from Mustang Valley Sanctuary, in West Fulton, NY. His name is Billy and he is a darling 5 year old donkey. Look how handsome!

Winter is nearly here and that means beautiful snow but also many increased expenses. Please consider a donation if you can! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/howcanihelp

We are so grateful to everyone who has cheered Olivia and Gladys on, everyone who showed up at the courthouse for the hearings, and all the local press like @vtdigger.bsky.social and @wcax.com who have provided coverage. Thank you everyone! Our beautiful girls are safe!

We have the most wonderful news! This is the news we've been hoping desperately for since March: OLIVIA AND GLADYS ARE SAFE! The judge ruled against their former owner in the forfeiture case, so Olivia and Gladys will be safe and fed and warm and loved here at Merrymac for the rest of their lives. ❤️
