Adopt a Musk Ox
We in the herd would like to remind you that the generous and reliable support of our Friends of the Musk Ox (FoMO) members is essential for maintaining our health year-round and keeping our barn’s doors open to the public.
Joining or renewing your FoMO membership is especially important today, as we face a challenging road ahead in an uncertain economic climate. We are doing everything oxenly possible to ensure the continued success of our farm, but we need all of the two-legged help we can get!
Now is the time to demonstrate your commitment to this unique project. It can be hard enough surviving a grueling winter or a fall rut, but we are confident we can get by with a little help from our friends!
