ONESY, at first glance, might not appear to need extra care. His goat chin blows in the breeze. His ears are almost perfectly horizontal. When you see his wheelchair, you realize that he needs some extra love. Christine Ross is there to give it to him. Christine is the chairman and founder of Old Fogey Farm, a five-acre vegan farm in EHT. She rescues animals who otherwise would be put down or animals who come from hoarding cases. The animals all have names that would be common in a retirement facility. Hence the name – Old Fogey Farm. In her repertoire are goats, a mini donkey who thinks he’s a goat, a steer who just celebrated his second birthday, sheep, a dog, a cat, and a bunch of rescue squirrels and chipmunks. The squirrels are released once they are healthy but usually live in the trees to be fed.
