UPDATE ON THE CZU FIRE IN SANTA CRUZ
BONNY DOON TOUGH!
Thanks to the efforts of firefighters and neighbors who stayed behind to battle the blaze, our ranch still stands! We are the hole in the doughnut, as fires threatened from both sides.
We safely evacuated with all our animals. The turkeys got to ride first class in the back of my BMW SUV! Kinderwood Farm is graciously hosting our critters until we can return home. Our half wild turkeys and Mr. P the peacock survived in our oasis and a friend is feeding them.
Luckily, the 800 acres surrounding the ranch are untouched and there are no burned areas in view of the ranch. We are feeling blessed! While it may take a while to get power back and to clean up, we plan to reopen this fall.
