This is a hard one to write. This month, we said goodbye to Brewster.

If you've followed the farm for any amount of time, you probably knew Brewster. Brewster was one of our award-winning alpacas, a true standout in our herd, and so many of you loved Brewster right along with us. Some animals just make a farm feel like home, and the barn feels a little quieter now.

More than an alpaca

Every animal on our farm has a personality and a place in our hearts, but every so often, one of them becomes something more. Brewster was one of those. People from near and far chose to support Brewster and follow along with life on the farm. To all of you who supported Brewster, visited, shared pictures or simply cheered from afar: thank you. You made Brewster's life even richer, and you made ours richer, too.

Grief is part of farm life

Caring for animals means loving them fully, knowing that one day we'll have to say goodbye. It never gets easier. Our crew cared for Brewster with so much love and attention, and they are grieving too. If you're missing Brewster, please know you're not alone. We feel it every day.

Brewster's Legacy

We wanted Brewster's story to keep going, and to keep doing good. That's why we created Brewster's Legacy. Support for Brewster's Legacy helps send local kids to farm camp here at Eagle Eye Farm, giving them the chance to spend time with animals, learn about farm life and make memories they'll carry with them.

I can't think of a better way to honor Brewster, who brought joy to so many people. Now that joy keeps going, one camper at a time.

How you can help

If Brewster meant something to you, or if you simply love the idea of giving a child the chance to experience farm camp, we'd be so grateful if you'd consider supporting Brewster's Legacy. Every bit of support, big or small, makes a difference. If you supported Brewster in the past, Brewster's Legacy is the best way to continue that support.

You can learn more on the Brewster's Legacy page.

Thank you

Thank you for all the kind messages, memories and love you've shared with us. It means more than you know. Brewster was truly special and will always be part of Eagle Eye Farm.

Rest easy, sweet Brewster. We love you.
