The Answer to Retirement

This upcoming week is National Volunteer Week. The Cibolo was built by a group of volunteers and friends who had a shared vision to transform a little piece of Boerne and share it with the community.

This upcoming week is National Volunteer Week. The Cibolo was built by a group of volunteers and friends who had a shared vision to transform a little piece of Boerne and share it with the community. Today, and every day, we celebrate all the people that give their time, talents, and treasures to help the Cibolo grow and thrive. We are pleased to highlight the contributions of a special volunteer, Sarah Lindaur, who helps the Cibolo each and every day. Friends like Sarah are the continued magic of the Cibolo.

--Mornings at the Herff Farm are quiet, but like all small farms, there is no shortage of work to be done. That’s where Sarah Lindaur comes in. Sarah started volunteering in the Teaching Garden in 2019 after retiring. Since then, she has woven herself into the daily routine of the farm, feeding and caring for the chickens and Radish, the rabbit, tending to bird baths and feeders, and working in the garden beds alongside our employees and other volunteers. Over the years, she has developed a close bond with our chickens who are very drawn to her as they follow her everywhere she goes. Whether it is because they can sense her genuine care towards them, or just because she brings them varieties of foods they like, the connection they share is obvious. Last week, I interrupted her cleaning out the chicken waterers for a quick interview.
