Volunteers take
a trip to Ashford land
Our Companions volunteers took
a road trip to Ashford to explore the sanctuary property for themselves. It
was important for us to explore the land and to see the factory farming
chicken coops that currently occupy the property. By experiencing
these chicken coops firsthand, we were able to feel the horrible
pain and suffering that once occupied this land. As Susan shared
with us the exciting details of the work that is to start in August,
we all felt a sense of joy and delight that we are able to participate
in such a beautiful project. A project that will transform
this land into a magical, peaceful and healing place for both animals
and people. ~volunteer,

Inside the chicken

What a great opportunity to learn more! Use this knowledge
to make compassionate decisions when purchasing eggs. |

We listened with great interest.... |
And what a beautiful pond it is. |
