Feeding treats to the animals

 Edwards animals got donated food for the animals. This time, we got lettuce, green beans, cauliflower, and carrots. Leah helps pass out the food.
 Bucky the llama can't wait to eat all the good food.
 Leah throws the food around so that the animals don't eat it all at once.
 Alexis helps feed the animals.
Angel the goat eats the cauliflower after it has been spread.

Animals go for a walk

Josh, Grace, Alexis, and Gabby take the animals for a walk. The walks provide the animals a chance to get out of the farm and stay in shape. We thank all of the volunteers for helping with the animals.

Visit to Alpacas

 Josh and Grace, two of our volunteers, went to see the three alpacas in their foster home for the winter. They are doing very good and they have a wonderful home away from home. Josh feeds the alpacas grain to keep them socialized and used to people.
The alpacas greet the first snow with a warm home and great friends.

Another work day

 We start the day with scooping straw into the goat huts.
 We give the animals their meds.
 We clean the barn and the stalls.
 We take the animals for a walk. Jalee takes Bucky for a walk.
Stormy gets a walk.
Thank you Grace, Josh, Jalee and the other volunteers for helping us out on Saturday. Honey the goat says thank you to Parker Core Knowledge who came out and helped us with the mourning chores.

Celebration for Leah

We had a wonderful celebration for Leah with cake and ice cream. We celebrated Leah's generous donations totaling over 1,000 dollars!!! Leah makes jewelry and sells it on Facebook. All of the money she raises, goes to the Edwards Foundation to help out with food and medical funds. We awarded Leah with this certificate and this ribbon. You can visit her website on Facebook by searching Leah's Fashion Furward.

Tour

Our volunteer Josh gave a wonderful tour to a lovely group. Julie, Jessica, Kathrine, Dave, Sarenna, and Kristen met the animals and checked up on the two silky roosters they brought us. They gave a generous donation and loved on the animals. We love it when people come out for a tour and to help out with chores.

Tacking the Horses for a walk

 Before the walk, we must clean out the horse's hooves. Josh and Colin clean out Toby's hooves before his walk.
 The horses stop along the way to grab a bite to eat.
 Stormy gets a walk by a wonderful girl from Thunder Ridge.
 Andy gets a walk by Alexis.
 Toby gets a walk by Colin.
Goldy gets a walk by Leah and a wonderful girl from Thunder Ridge. We thank everyone who came out to help us with the horses. They enjoyed the walk and the extra attention. With hooves clean and after they went on the walk, they head home.
