Chopper – one year later

Chopper got a new toy for his “zoo” to celebrate the one year anniversary (lovingly called his birthday) at Misfit Acres! My, such a happy little boy!

Any volunteer help?

As you know, we are heavily involved in recycling as part of our funding. Our supplier has had several machine breakdowns causing lots of popcorn bags to be defective. We are searching for help boxing these up for shipment. We currently have many, many bags in a trailer in our yard needing to be boxed but the trailer belongs to our neighbor. Would anyone be willing to help box these bags up for shipment?

Angie’s Kettle Corn

We are very excited to tell you that Angie’s Kettle Corn in North Mankato has teamed up with us for our recycling programs. Please click on this link to view their press release – http://www.angieskettlecorn.com/angies-press-room/angies-kettle-corn-donates-to-misfit-acres/

Each weekday, one of us goes to their factory and picks up several large trash bags of their defective kettle corn bags which in turn we box up and ship to our recycler with all proceeds coming right back to Misfit Acres. Angie’s Kettle Corn estimates that they are no longer putting 1200# a month of defective bags in the trash thus saving them money on trash pick up and helping to save our environment by not sending this product to the landfill. As of the writing of this column, Misfit Acres has an account balance of over $2300 with our recycler. This is truly a win-win situation! Well, it is also winning situation for Chopper as he rummages through the bags looking for kettle corn as we pack the boxes.

Where to begin………

Misfit Acres has ended 2011 and started 2012 on some very high notes!! Since Christmas Eve morning, teh rescue has received over $8K in grants and donations. Although this is a lot of money, supporting 11 horses takes a lot of money. We are so very grateful for all the generosity!!
