Odin’s Acres

After a short”ish” wait, we’re finally part of the loop program!

So fortunate to be able to keep all of this food out of the landfill & provide it to our livestock 🤍✨

Evacuation orders were started for the wildfire - so we’ve prepared every animal here at the farm so we can load & go.

Big big thank you to Jill Furey for lending us her trailer and absolutely everyone that offered a safe place for our animals and our family 🙏🏼🤍

We want to let everyone know that we are closely monitoring the wildfire in the Jacket Lake area.

While we have not been placed under an evacuation order at this time, we have already begun our emergency preparations. All of our horses have been properly tagged, emergency plans are in place, and we are ready to move them quickly if the situation changes.

The safety of our kids and our animals is our top priority, and we’re staying informed through official updates while taking every precaution we can.

We appreciate everyone who has reached out to check on us. Please keep the firefighters, emergency crews, and everyone affected by the fire in your thoughts. ❤️

We’ll continue to post updates if anything changes.

We kept this guy behind as we were going to use him as our future breeder but have decided not to at this time.
