Karma + Erica

Most of you will remember Karma, the handsome colt rescued through Hope Farm Delta and Karmvavore fundraising efforts.

Karma is doing very well since his life saving surgery and has grown into a handsome, fast, and healthy horse!

He has also found his new forever home where he will be placed in January, with Erica, where he will be loved and taken care of.

Janet Friesen of Hope Farm Delta, who has been the single most important person of this effort, has taken care of and raised Karma, including all transport and veterinary arrangements, and finding him his suitable forever home. Here is an update from Janet:

Karma is an amazingly confident, brave and

intelligent fellow. He is getting quite muscular and of course, beautiful. He loves to play and run very fast. He tests my 24 year old gelding's patience, but nothing is more patient than a horse. A lot of the time he is just quiet and taking in all the information. He is still happy to hang around people even when the herd is far away. He really connects with Erica and her parents. Her father says he has seen a thousand colts but none with Karma's brain. He acts like he is a much older horse, except for teething on his lead rope. He has a wonderful, calm mind and spirit and the name Karma befits his noble being. He has an old soul. I think he is on a wonderful path and will be happy at his new home. Thank-you to everyone who helped him, especially Salim and Jenn. You are generous beyond imagination.

Thank you Janet for everything you have done for Karma! You have not only saved his life but also given him a warm and loving upbringing, and ensured his happiness in a good home.

For those that wish to help make a contribution to Hope Farm Delta, you may contact Janet at hopefarm@eastlink.ca

Janet also wishes to mention the following Horse Rescue organizations that could also use your help!

Circle F Horse Rescue

Bake Sale Success!

You baked, you came, and you donated!

Thanks to all of you and your generosity, we were able to raise $1447.00 for the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA)! You donated most generously (I think we could have added another table!) to take home some treats from the bake tables, and you also donated whenever you purchased a Sweets from the Earth baked good from our deli, or a karmavore raffle ticket at the cash. All of this added up to help the kitties!

We were overwhelmed with everyone's generosity whether you baked for the sale or donated when you arrived.

We'd like to thank all of those bakers out there who came in numbers for this event. Wow! What an amazing turnout!

A special thanks to Sprout Vegan Bakery for bringing the delicious mini cheesecakes and for donating your time to help out at the bake sale table.

Thank you to Artisan Bake Shoppe for donating the delicious Chocolate Cake, and the Vegan Banana Pecan Cookies (that we've since decided to carry in the store as well!)


We'd also like to thank all of those that provided us with some great raffle prizes:
Bikram's Yoga New Westminster
Four Fauna
Carla Kelly
Live for Tomorrow
Pedagogy Toys
and Saeco BC

Thank you to Janna Hurtzig of Astrosatchel for having a trunk sale with us on the upper level during the bake sale. Janna brought a fabulous selection of her totes, wallets, and even silk-screened pillows for people to choose from.





What was your favorite cookie, cupcake, or other treat from the bake sale?
