🐥Why is the minimum membership one year?
Caring for a living animal requires stability,
responsibility, and time. A chick grows and changes quickly, and a meaningful
connection cannot be built in just a few weeks.
A one-year membership ensures that adopters stay involved long enough to truly
understand their chick’s development, commit to its wellbeing, and experience
the full cycle of learning and care.
Short-term or one-month memberships often lead to impulsive decisions or
drop-offs in participation, which is unfair to the chick and disrupts its care
routine.
By setting a one-year minimum, we encourage adopters—especially children and
families—to make a thoughtful, responsible commitment that reflects the real
values of animal care: patience, consistency, and compassion.
💖 How Your Adoption Helps
Your adoption is more than a membership — it directly supports the wellbeing of your chick and helps us create a safe, happy, and educational environment at the farm.
Every adoption contributes to:
1️⃣ Daily care and feeding — ensuring your chick grows up healthy with proper nutrition and clean, comfortable living spaces.
2️⃣ Farm staff and animal care — supporting the people who gently watch over your chick every day, including health checks, enrichment, and flock management.
3️⃣ Farm maintenance and chick housing — keeping the barn warm, safe, and enriched as your chick grows from a hatchling into a full member of the flock.
4️⃣ Member Day experiences — allowing families and children to visit the farm weekly, learn responsibly, and build real-life connections with animals.
5️⃣ Educational programs for the community — helping us create hands-on learning opportunities that teach kindness, patience, and respect for animals.
Your support makes it possible for us to care for every chick with love, attention, and a year-long commitment to their wellbeing — and we’re grateful to share this journey with you.
