Running our farm is extremely expensive and we have to try and generate the money needed to feed all of the animals through the long hard winters. Donating a bale of hay goes a long way. Although we do generate some income from the meet and greets, a lot of the costs come from our own earnings. But these animals are our pets. If you could spare a bale it would feed a sheep for a month, cow for a week and goat for the whole winter :)
