  • Encourage your friends and family to adopt or foster animals from Best Friends to make space for LA animals.
  • If you are a transport volunteer, check the calendar for upcoming emergency transports.
  • If you can, consider a weekend volunteer trip to the Sanctuary to help support incoming animal transports.

Aldine's Urban Farm Report with Bob Quinn, whose vision extends beyond agriculture, embodying a holistic approach where local minimal processing, community, health, and education intertwine to redefine success in farming. Want to learn more from Bob? Visit The Quinn Institute of the Northern Great Plains:

  • Philosophy: Food is medicine.

  • Mission: Scaling up the number of successful regenerative organic producers growing nutrient-dense food to improve the health of our planet and people.

  • Quinn Institute Campus: Located in Big Sandy, Montana, the campus covers approximately 700 acres of donated land, previously part of the Quinn Farm & Ranch that has been in a regenerative organic agricultural system and certified organic for over 25 years. The campus will be divided into multiple fields to demonstrate the effect of rotations on cash crops, cover crops, and unusual crops, as well as inter-relationships of livestock with both native pasture and cropland. Rented acres from a bordering non-organic farm will allow experiments comparing organic and non-organic systems.
