Hi! My name is Robine and I am the founder and director of Harmony Farm Sanctuary, a vegan farmed animal sanctuary located between Bend and Sisters, Oregon. My family and I are all vegans. I first became vegan in my early 20's when I read a book called "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins (heir to the Baskin Robbins fortune). It changed my life. I never thought it would lead me to opening and operating an animal sanctuary, but here I am! We started the sanctuary in 2014 and have come a long way since. Today we provide sanctuary for about 135 animal residents. This is truly a labor of love.

I've lived in Portland for a long time and know the city and region well. I'm an easy-going guy with some world travel under my belt. I'm into natural and sustainable living, culture, and Oregon's countryside and wilderness. While giving you all the space you need, I am friendly and welcoming, and I am happy to guide you to whatever local sightseeing or experience you may be in the mood for. If you are vegetarian, vegan or just curious about or enjoy plant-based cuisine, I have been vegan for longer than I can count and am tuned into the plethora of vegan/plant based shops, restaurants, bars and activities in town and can give you some ideas of where to grab that kind of grub to your heart's delight.

I was born and raised in Portland, and I enjoy traveling near and far (mostly near since covid). I've always loved animals, and have been meat-free since 2008, vegan since 2019. I find joy in being outside - paddle boarding, hiking, camping - trying new foods, crafting, drumming, roller skating, and cooking/baking.

I became vegan in 2012 with my then fiancé now husband, Nik, who had been vegan before but had stopped for a couple of years. After viewing the documentary ‘Vegucated’ together, my vegetarian self decided it was time to become fully vegan, and Nik was on board again. In 2013, we moved to Portland, Oregon from Southern California and have been loving it here ever since. The Pacific Northwest has my heart! We both enjoy cooking, hiking, cycling, and playing music ( I play drums and sing, he plays a little bit of everything). Aside from the plethora of beautiful natural wonders the Pacific Northwest offers, we love the city of Portland for being such a vegan mecca. We have utilized VegVisits several times and have been fortunate to make some lasting friends through this wonderful platform. We originally hosted a couple from Quebec, Canada in 2016, and we were so thrilled to have the chance to travel to Canada and stay with them in their providence in 2019. Before we bussed to their providence from Montreal, we also stayed with another superb couple via Vegvisits in Montreal. They were so kind and we still try to stay in touch with them (we are happy to give prospective hosts/guests their names for references). And in 2016 we also hosted a cool couple from Daytona, Florida. We love VegVisits and the connections we’ve made with other like-minded animal lovers!

I have been vegan for almost 15 years. I went vegan for the animals and, like every vegan I’ve ever talked to, I only wish I’d done it sooner. My husband joined me 2 1/2 years ago after he almost died of a heart attack. We have hosted our beautiful beach home for almost 20 years. We have a dog named Luke that we adopted from Texas 4 years ago. We have 2 adult children and 3 grandchildren that we adore. We hope you feel the specialness of our home from the moment you walk in the door.
