farm haven BY REBECCA KEISTER/SUN CHRONICLE STAFF http://www.thesunchronicle.com/articles/20.../city/city3.txt There seems to be a common reaction among first-time visitors at Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary: Most just can't believe this haven for abandoned and abused animals is so close to their own back yards. The experience of meeting and walking among the horses, emus, goats, peacocks, llamas, pigs and other animals who have found a safe home here is enriched by the farm's story. Deb White built the first part of Winslow Farms 10 years ago this week, the realization of a lifelong dream spurred by an early love for lost animals. She worked the plan for years, holding three jobs at a time to bankroll the effort, then bought up land and began building. Eight years ago, White opened the sanctuary's doors to the public and eventually built an education center, petting zoo and general store at the Eddy Street location. The farm offers tours, birthday parties, teepee camping, pony rides and other yearly events. Marking its 10-year milestone with an official celebration in August, White can hardly believe what the farm has achieved. `` I'm tired, but excited,'' White said. `` I surpassed my goal. We've received such positive feedback. Our customers are always thanking us for taking care of the animals.'' There are 200 animals at the farm now, including Hershey, a horse saved from slaughter; Noah, a goat who needed kidney surgery; and Shepherds Moon, a pony who was severely abused on several farms. |
