Little hands. Big discoveries.

Around here, agricultural education means getting outside, asking questions, digging in the dirt and experiencing it firsthand.

We’re helping raise a generation that understands where food comes from, how we care for animals and why taking care of the land matters.

FINAL CHANCE to join the Road to Sanctuary. 🌿

Today is the final day to reserve a banner along the road into Winding Branch Ranch.

These banners line the drive where thousands of guests walk into the sanctuary, giving local businesses, families and friends of the ranch a visible place to show their support.

Put your business name, family name or a name that means something to you on the Road to Sanctuary and help support the animals and programs that make this place possible for an entire year.

Banner sales close tonight.

Reserve yours at:

Are we what you think we are? 👀

Animal rescue? Agriculture? Education? Food systems? Conservation? Regenerative farming?

Winding Branch Ranch has grown a lot in three years, and before we decide what comes next, we want to know what you think.

10 quick questions. No right answers. Be honest. 🌱

Your answers will help shape what comes next. And if you'd like, you can raise your hand at the end to stay part of the conversation when we're considering new programs and ideas.

You don't have to be a donor or even have visited the Ranch. If you know us, we want to hear from you.

🌱 What’s Growing Wednesday!

August in South Texas definitely doesn’t mean the growing season is over. We’re planting again!

This week, cucumber, pumpkin, zinnia and black-eyed pea seedlings are popping up throughout the garden, while celosia, sunflowers and other summer flowers are still going strong.

Warm soil helps many seeds germinate quickly this time of year, and choosing plants that can handle our late-summer heat gives us another opportunity to grow before cooler weather arrives.

Our garden is one of the ways we teach that agriculture is all about understanding seasons, timing and what grows well where you live. In South Texas, August still has plenty of growing left to do.

What are you planting for late summer and fall? Tell us in the comments!

From August 15 through August 31, we’re waiving adoption fees for approved adopters as part of Clear the Shelters.

We currently have pigs, goats, chickens and other farm animals looking for safe, committed homes. Each animal has different needs, so our team will work carefully to make sure every placement is the right fit.

You can meet the animals currently available at windingbranchranch.org/adopt and complete an adoption application at windingbranchranch.org/adoption-application.

Not ready to adopt? Sharing this post could help one of these animals reach the right family.

Talking approximately 900 miles per hour because there was WAY too much to fit into one reel 😂

So grateful for another Southern Family Farmers and Food Systems Conference. Two days packed with learning, great conversations, new connections, incredible food from family farms and a whole lot of inspiration to bring back to Winding Branch Ranch.

From local food systems and land stewardship to soil health, agritourism, seed swapping and some very lively conversations about the future of agriculture in Texas, I walked away with pages of notes and even more ideas.

Thank you to everyone who made this conference happen and to all of the farmers, ranchers, educators, advocates and organizations who shared their knowledge with us. I learned a ton, met some wonderful people and had so much fun doing it.

Already counting down to next year. 🌱🚜❤️
