Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this is Mary Ann Sullivan.

And this week we have a very special New Year's episode recorded live at a wildlife sanctuary. Matt Perry is, and I know that's a strange name

right now, but it was this Matt's name first. Matt Perry is the conservation director and resident

naturalist at Spring Farm Cares in Clinton, New York, and he's vegan. He's like one badass vegan. I love finding

vegans who work in wildlife. And this kind vegan was kind enough to give us a personal

tour of the sanctuary, which we are going to share with you. It's a different type of episode

for us, and I think you're going to love it. So stay tuned.

I can't wait to hear it.

I just want to revisit that day.

Yeah, it was so special and such a beautiful place.

And they have a lot of beavers there, none of whom were kind enough to come out for us,

but he sent us a lot of pictures.

I just love beavers. They're so beautiful and so

sweet. Oh, God, it was a great day. It was so beautiful there. Like, God, it's just, though

they're surrounded by hunters, just to be in that safe space with a vegan tour guide and people

who get it, just really, really special.

We have been holding on to this episode because it was such a special one, and we like to

give you a super special present at the end of the year. So I'd love to know what you think of

this one, you guys. So anyhow, it is New Year's. And wow, happy New Year's, Marianne.

Are you like over the moon excited that 2020 is going to be in the past and 2024 is ahead of us?
