The 4th of July is almost here ๐ and our residents are gearing up for our Independence Day pool party! ๐โโ๏ธ Independence Landing offices will be closed Friday, July 3rd in honor of the holiday. We will resume normal business hours Monday, July 6th. Wishing you all a fun, safe weekend! ๐
We heard that some of you have been egg-stremely curious as to whatโs been up with our baby chicks. ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฃ Hereโs your update: they should be here any minute!๐
We just completed our final egg candlingโwhere we check for fertility or embryosโ and are expecting 3 babies to peck their way earth-side any day now! The term โegg candlingโ comes from hundreds of years ago when the bright flame from a candle would be held under an egg. This illuminated the inside, revealing air pockets, indicating the egg is fertilized. We also learned that eggshell color typically predicts feather color, but it can ultimately vary. From our white eggs, weโre expecting yellow or black feathered baby chicks. ๐ฅ
Our residents have thoroughly enjoyed this process, and we absolutely cannot wait to see it all come full circle! What color chicks do you think weโll get? ๐ค

Our residents felt the love at the Redemptive Love Farm (@redemptivelovefarm)! ๐ชฟ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ช๐
Whether it was petting or feeding animals, exploring the farm, or meeting new wildlife, there was no shortage of fun to be found. We are so grateful to Redemptive Love Farm for welcoming our IL crew with open arms, and incredibly touched by their mission of caring for and rehabilitating farm animals & livestock. Be sure to add them to your Summer activities bucket list! โ๏ธ

Celebrating #AutisticPride today and every day! ๐๐
June 18th is recognized globally as #AutisticPrideDayโa day to celebrate the strength and uniqueness of the neurodivergent community. Rather than spread awareness, Autistic Pride Day serves to foster acceptance, fight towards inclusion, and challenge outdated misconceptions.
Through embracing pride and amplifying autistic voices, we can help reduce stigma, creating more diverse, supportive communities for everyone. ๐
This Friday is Juneteenth. โค๏ธ๐ค๐
Juneteenth serves to honor the dayโJune 19, 1865โthat the last group of enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas were notified of their freedomโover 2 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Let us use this day to reflect on history while celebrating the resilience, culture, and freedom of the Black community.
Our offices will be closed Friday, 6/19, and resume normal business hours on Monday, 6/22.
