Goatlandia is just pure heaven. If you haven’t noticed yet, I love animals. Always have, always will. I had the great pleasure of visiting again and documenting the arrival of 16 kids that ranged in age from a day to just a few weeks. It was pure heaven for me. Sitting in a pen with four little babies climbing on me and sucking on my fingers and hair. Heaven!!!

Goatlandia is an animal sanctuary that rescues farm animals and educates the public about the choice for a compassionate lifestyle. Almost everyone loves animals, and most people don’t want to see animals suffer, be harmed, or be killed. But sadly, in the U.S. alone, over 9 BILLION (not counting any sea animals) are killed each year for food. The good news it that be being vegetarian or vegan, you can save a lot of animals’ lives. It’s estimated that a vegetarian can save 25 land animals per year, and a vegan close to 200! Not only is eating veg good for the animals, it’s better for the planet, the environment, and our health.

Coddingtown Center in Santa Rosa have tasked the guys with a very special tank! To kick off their new remodel, they want Wayde and Brett to make a tank that pays respects to the heroes that helped the area during the recent wildfires.

Deborah Blum never imagined she’d run a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to saving orphaned, abused and neglected farm animals.

Over 100 animal lovers, nonprofit employees, and tech do-gooders gathered at Airbnb Headquarters for the event. They snacked on a colorful buffet of plant-based food and toured the booths of four organizations offering unique Airbnb Animal Experiences here in the Bay Area. For many attendees, it was their first time learning about the rescued farm animals of Charlie’s Acres and Sweet Farm, the best kind of yoga — goat yoga — offered at Goatlandia, and the loveable senior dogs of San Francisco-based Muttville.

Sonoma County: the seat of Wine Country, a rich and talented theater scene and a vibrant and knowledgeable agricultural community, all of which get set ablaze every year, putting us all in firm need of a good party. Hippies, wiccans and theologians of all walks would likely agree these are the necessary ingredients for a ritual to honor Dionysus, known as “Bacchus” to his Roman pals.

Deborah Blum is the founder and Executive Director at Goatlandia Farm Animal Sanctuary in Santa Rosa, CA. Deborah moved to Santa Rosa to fulfill her dream of living with goats and what started as a passion grew into a non profit rescue, education organization, animal therapy, goat yoga, kid’s camp, as well as vegan catering and food events, and much more. Deb and Hope discuss their mutual love of goats and how the rise in popularity of goat dairy has created the same cruelty and ethical issues we see with cow dairy. Deb talks about using goats to graze public lands for fire prevention, and how this other popular use of goats is on the rise and has created yet another host of ethical problems and even more goats needing rescue.
