Donate to Vote - Name a Goat!

Help us name our goat herd! We have 7 new goats, but only 3 have names: Lily, Stacia, and Zaazey! For the remaining 4, we gathered suggestions from children in our programs, as well as staff. Options were chosen to fit the personality of each goat. However, you get the final say! Voting will be open until Friday, Feb 7. Your donations will keep these ladies thriving for the next many years! | |

HUNGER RELIEF
Partner Spotlight: Newton Food Pantry
| | |
|
The Land's Sake farm crew had the opportunity to meet staff and volunteers at the Newton Food Pantry, one of our partners in distributing fresh local produce to people in need. Their approach prioritizes dignity and compassion, with clients choosing their own food with limits based on family size. We were honored to learn that Land's Sake produce donations are some of the very best they receive and are universally popular with their diverse population of clients. In 2024, Land's Sake donated a total of over 55,000 lbs of fresh produce to eight different partners to relieve hunger throughout the region. | |
