wish list
If you’re interested in supporting wonderlland in ways other than by cowfunding or purchasing our products, we would also love your help with any of the items on the below wish list. Some are things we need on an ongoing basis, and some are items needed to fix up the farm for animals and visitors. Some things are items you might be getting rid of out of your basement that we could repurpose here, and some are big items you could sponsor in exchange for Wonderlland advertising for you as a sponsor. If you would like to send any of the items below by mail to your favorite animal, shoot me a note through the contact form at the bottom of this page for address details if you don’t have them. Thank you so much in advance. I can’t wait to post videos of the animals enjoying the packages from you on Instagram and Facebook!
Old enclosed cargo-type trailers - does not need to be road ready (to be converted and used as chicken coops, more of which are always needed)
Sheds and other structures that can be repurposed as bird coops
Old (or new) exterior doors and screen doors (all barn and shed doors on the property are rotten and holey. They all need to be replaced. If you have any old exterior doors, I’d love to make them work here to make all the rooms the chickens sleep in more secure.)
Outdoor furniture - wood or metal (The farm needs lots more seating and table space for visitors.)
Home windows (all the windows in the old farmhouse, which is to be used as a space for visitors, are broken out and need to be replaced)
Commercial kitchen supplies (3 compartment sink and other standard equipment needed for the commercial kitchen.)
Window a/c unit and coolbot (Half of the old farmhouse basement will be turned into a walk-in cooler for farm milk, eggs and produce.) www.storeitcold.com

New Country Organics Chicken Food 50 lb bag (In the summer, Wonderlland eats 2 bags per day, or a 2,000lb feed tote in 20 days. In the winter, it is often twice that because forage isn’t available.) http://www.newcountryorganics.com/shop/certified-organic-soy-free-poultry-feeds/layer-feed/layer-feed-50-pounds.html
New Country Organics Llama Food 50lb bag (The llamas eat forage in the summer and hay in the winter, but they LOVE treats. This llama food is a treat for them, given in small quantities daily so they aren’t jealous of the chickens.) http://www.newcountryorganics.com/shop/organic-livestock-feeds/llama-alpaca/llama-alpaca-certified-organic-soy-free-50-pounds.html
New Country Organics Dairy Cattle Feed 50lb bag (The cows graze on forage and eat hay as their main diet, but this is given as a treat. Like the llamas, the cows also LOVE treats!) http://www.newcountryorganics.com/shop/organic-livestock-feeds/calf-cattle/dairy-cattle-feed-50-poungs.html
