Meet Homestead Society Member Kay Kriewald
Kay is a long-time volunteer and a recent member of the Heartland Homestead Society. Below she shares how she discovered Heartland, why she decided to donate, and what keeps her coming back (besides the baby goat snuggles, of course).
1. How did you find out about Heartland? I saw an ad for a Barn Dance that Heartland was holding as a fundraiser. I couldn't make it to the event but looked up Heartland and knew it was for me. I attended a volunteer orientation the next day and was volunteering a week later.
2. How long have you been volunteering with HFS? I started in December 2011.
3. Why do you choose to support HFS? Over the years I have seen so many amazing changes at Heartland. This includes watching animals who came to the barn sick and neglected become happy and healthy, to the expansion of programs and services that Heartland now offers. The animal-assisted therapy programs have been expanded to include Barn Time and Animal Hearts and Camp Heartland is bigger and better than ever. Read more...

Program Spotlight: Veterans Group starting at Heartland
This summer, Heartland will offer weekly groups for Veterans and their families at our barn. This group will be a fun and relaxing way for Veterans and their family members to connect at the farm while providing light care to our rescued animals. Kids love it, and so do parents! We are looking for Veterans to help us facilitate this group (as volunteers), AND for families wanting to participate weekly for 1-2 months at a time. If you are a Veteran and are interested in either opportunity, please contact Dana at
608-219-1172 or

Ellie came to us in the spring of 2013 at the age of 1 1/2. Sadly, she lived in an abusive household with a man who would kick and hit her. This obviously led her to be very distrusting of people. When she first arrived at our barn she was scared, skittish, and wary of us; she would even snap and be angry at the slightest touch. Throughout her time at Heartland we have seen her blossom into a happier, healthier pig. She is still dramatic (no question there!) but she is much more trusting of all of us.
