Claire Hutt and son Roman have been with us on the journey to create a sanctuary since the start. Claire, also known as Claire-crow is often the star pof the show. Claire Crow, is one of the charectors in the Adventures at Hidden Valley Farm" book series, and can often be seen all dressed up at the local library or other local events to promote our book sales which contributes to the sanctuary funds.When Claire first joined us at the farm, she was very anxious around the horses and other farm animals, now she will be the one in the middle, managing them all. There are not enough thank yous in the world to show our appreciation. Claire also helps with admin, fund raising and picking up poo!
Joolz Art
Facebook
Julie from Joolzart has been a friend of Terri since their children went to Ngatimoti School in the Motueka Valley. Julie was invited to join our vision for the book series The Adventures of Hidden Valley Farm. Julie specialises mainly in water colour art and Terri is proud to own her ceramics and other wall art from over the years, she was our first choice and we were delighted that she accepted our challenge.
The first book took 18 months to come to the publishing stage and we were not disaponted with the results. We hope that Julie will continue as our stories continue to be inspired by the rescue farm pets at Hidden Valley Farm.

I went into the Nelson gallery to ask about prices and types of framing options for Joolzart original illustrations, with the idea of making them available for auction to fund raise and support the financials of the sanctuary. I was so beautifully recieved and I ended up walking out with an offer to present the illustrations at the gallery and to hold a launch there. What an opportunity. I have the venue, now I need to find the funding!
Thanks guys, I'll keep in touch
