Support an Animal

A Unique Oppurtunity to Become Involved with Baxter Barn

If you would like to experience the joy of working with animals on a farm, we are offering opportunities for you to do so by supportingthem with your time and energy; contributions accepted too.

Whether it is just one animal or several, you can become personally involved with them as one of their caretakers by doing any or all of the following:

• Brushing and petting the animals

• Help clean stalls, confinement areas, tack

• Feed the animals if you are around at feeding time

• Walk the animals

• Help train the animal by simply walking them in the round pen

• We have saddles and a cart for the donkeys (when agreeable by all parties)

• Helping with the cost of their maintenance

• The Grange in Issaquah gift certificates for feed

This is the perfect opportunity to teach any age responsibility in a loving environment.

Here is an estimate of what it costs in a month for the proper care, food, shelter, bedding, and vet checks of our farm animals:

Support an Animal Quail $5 Chicken $10 Pheasant $15 Donkey $25 Horse $50   Support a Group of Animals Bevy (A Bevy of Quail) $74 Brood (A Brood of Hens) $100 Nide/Nye (A Nide/Nye of Pheasants) $125 Flock (A Flock of Birds) $150 Herd (A Herd of Animals)  $200

 

Our farm is a 'Salmon Safe" farm, a conservation decision on our part to keep our streams protected. A percent of the contributions goes towards protecting the water and maintaining the native vegetation that provides filtration of water and shelter.
