Rain or Shine at Willow-Witt Ranch
Abundance of springtime
Like the heartbeat of the Earth quickening
Blossoms open, bird songs fill the air
Showers from the sky like little gifts
Potent droplets feeding growth
People gather, celebrate, smile, and connect
Earthy wisdom, patience, and beauty leaving echos of awe
There is so much to celebrate this month and beyond! We have wildflowers blooming, sandhill cranes dancing, and a diverse population of bird species singing.
The reciprocal relationship of a sanctuary spring home and the joy they bring visitors is one of the highlights of the season. Come on up and restore your senses with a bird song serenade! We look forward to connecting with you at any or all of our upcoming events.

Who’s Flying
A pair of Sandhill Cranes return to the wetlands and meadows annually, arriving mid-March and departing late August/September. Occasional visiting cranes stop in for a day or two at a time.
The pair thrives in wetlands, marshes, meadows, and prairies, often nesting near shallow water. They prefer habitats with high visibility for safety.
Opportunistic omnivores, they use their long beaks to probe for seeds, grains, berries, insects, snails, rodents, frogs, and lizards.
Here on the ranch, we often witness the pair dancing. This elaborate behavior involves jumping, bowing, wing-flapping, and tossing vegetation into the air. They dance to strengthen their lifelong partnership and bond, as well as to express excitement. It is a year-round occurrence, most frequently seen during breeding season.
What’s Blooming
Organic gardening has begun!. We combine our rich compost with amendments to support new sprouts. Trays of kale, chard, lettuce, basil, and parsley thrive in the warmth of the greenhouse.
Direct seedlings in the protected high tunnel include peas, carrots, tatsoi, arugula, cilantro, spinach, and beneficial flowers. Watered and tended to daily, this act of care has the potential to foster a sense of purpose and internal growth.
When you book a farm stay, you are directly supporting care of the ecosystems and activities that are happening on the land. At Willow-Witt Ranch we value…
- Land conservation
- Protection of native species
- Animal welfare and organic practices
- Green Burials
- Wildfire reduction practices
