Meet Amanda: The Heart Behind the Care at Our Farm

Every special place has people who make it feel alive, safe, and loved. At our farm, that person is Amanda.

Amanda is our animal caretaker and farm assistant, and to say she is “sweet” only scratches the surface. From the moment she arrives each day, she brings a calm, steady presence that both our animals and guests immediately respond to. Animals trust her—and if you’ve spent any time around rescued animals, you know that trust is everything.

Amanda cares for each animal as if they were her own. She knows their personalities, their quirks, their favorite treats, and the subtle signs that tell her when something isn’t quite right. Her consistency and responsibility ensure that every animal receives the daily care, attention, and respect they deserve. Whether it’s early morning feedings, cleaning and maintaining enclosures, or quietly sitting with an animal that just needs companionship, Amanda shows up—every single time.

What truly sets Amanda apart is the love she brings into her work. This isn’t just a job for her; it’s a calling. She approaches her responsibilities with patience, gentleness, and a deep understanding of the role humans play in providing safety and dignity to animals who depend on us.

Our guests notice this immediately. Visitors often comment on how welcoming Amanda is, how knowledgeable she is about the animals, and how comfortable she makes everyone feel. She has a natural way of connecting with people—answering questions thoughtfully, sharing stories about the animals, and helping guests feel like they are part of the farm family rather than just visitors. Many guests leave saying how much they appreciated spending time with her, and some even ask about her by name when they return.

Amanda also plays an essential role in keeping the farm running smoothly. Her reliability allows everything else to function—from guest experiences to daily operations—because we know the animals are in capable, caring hands. That kind of trust is invaluable.

We are incredibly grateful for Amanda. She represents the values we hold closest: compassion, responsibility, consistency, and love—for animals, for people, and for the land we care for. Our farm is better because of her, and we are honored to have her as part of our team.

If you’ve visited the farm and felt that sense of peace, warmth, and connection—you’ve felt Amanda’s influence.
