WHY DONATE? Goat Conspiracy is always looking for kind donors to help us out!

WHO WILL BENEFIT? Most of our time and resources go toward taking care of our animals!

DONATION DELIVERY: 6030 E Kent Road, Bloomington, IN 47401

CONTACT: Amy Osajima, amy@thegoatconspiracy.org, 812-727-4220
If you would like to make a donation, just call or email!

The Goat Conspiracy began as a small local sustainably-oriented farm and creamery. After almost a decade of working the farm, we began to understand gaps that could not be closed with respect to sustainability and animal welfare. In the winter of 2024, we began our "transfarmation" into a sanctuary/retirement home for our goats and chickens.

We would love for you to visit the Goat Conspiracy and learn more about our story, how we saw ourselves as an alternative to factory farms, but ended up realizing the impact of dairy among other forms of animal agriculture are neither sustainable nor truly in line with animal welfare. We offer farm visits/tours, yoga classes, birthday parties and hold a variety of events on the farm (follow us on Facebook or Instagram or sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of our home page).

THE BIG STUFF

Our biggest need right now is a farm truck or van. If you or someone you know has an old truck taking up space -- it doesn't have to be pretty -- we will happily give it a home.Kubota or Gator style vehicle to help us get around the farm quickly. Even a golf cart would be great!

The MCHA Pet Food & Supply Pantry provides support to families experiencing temporary financial difficulties while ensuring no pet goes hungry. MCHA is deeply committed to keeping pets with their families and reducing the number of animals surrendered. By doing so, we aim to foster a community where every pet is valued, cared for, and safe in their homes. This program is designed to give extra help alongside your pet’s usual food, not to be the only food they rely on for nutrition. 

In 2023, MCHA distributed more than 12.5 tons (25,000 lbs of food) of pet food to our community.

The Orchard hosts weekly Work and Learn Days, from April to November, and all are welcome to join! 

The Orchard's Work & Learn Days offer a weekly opportunity for community members of all experience-levels to help us cultivate the flagship Orchard site, while developing their own hands-on orcharding skills. The first of these each month begins with an Orchard Tour. We encourage volunteers to bring their own water, hat, sunscreen, close-toed shoes and clothes fit for the season. All are welcome, and no experience is needed – we’ll show you what to do when you arrive!

These events are free, and open to the public, with no registration or experience required (though we appreciate advance notice for groups of 5+ people). We simply ask that you dress appropriately to do outdoor work, and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. Snacks and drinks will be provided as well as any other tools you may need to help out!

We hope you can join us to get outside and enjoy nature, make new friends, and learn some sustainable, organic orcharding practices. All are welcome.

See you in the Orchard!

WHY DONATE? Making a House a Home

WHO WILL BENEFIT? The title of our wish list says it all. When our residents move into our houses they usually come with nothing except perhaps a change of clothes. We want to make them feel like they are moving into a home. To that end, we provide beds, bedding, dishes, kitchen utensils, furniture, decor--anything that is needed to make our residents feel like they have moved into a home and not just a place to sleep. Donations of furnishings, bedding, kitchen utensils--the usual items needed when moving into a new home-- would benefit our residents and Courage to Change Sober Living as a whole since buying these items takes a chunk of our budget.

If you have been making or are interested in making handmade CDC-approved style masks, THANK YOU! Please follow the steps below to ensure we get clean masks to where they need to go. (Download a Printable PDF of this opportunity to Share Here)

At this time, we are focusing on supplying masks to our homeless shelters and then transitional housing locations that have been identified as having urgent needs are based on the fact of their high numbers and crowded conditions not allowing for adequate social distancing.  As these needs are filled, we will reevaluate the best place for the handmade masks to go based on current need.

 

Here’s what to do:

Create masks using the CDC approved handmade masks by going to the PDF at https://www.deaconess.com/How-to-make-a-Face-Mask/Documents-Mask/Mask-Information or to view a video, go to https://youtu.be/9tBg0Os5FWQ.

After fully constructed, wash all masks in very warm water then
