Save our Organic Farm!

***My families organic farm is going down.***

When my grandparents purchased these 40 acres they hoped to sustain not only our name-sakes, but the impressionable community surrounding. Over the last decade, monetary hardship and inability to rebuild, have led to dramatic decay. Without this farm, my father, brother, my wife, and kids are at risk of losing their only permanent home and source of income. I have sold everything I could in order to return to this property for development. The current condition of things however is unusable, at best. Some of the greenhouse panels have fallen out, the carriage house is a tepid cat birthing ground, the tractor was sold, and the grounds can barely be called "agricultural" any longer. The situation, once in recess is now emergent. I am ready. I have the emotional support of family and friends. Now it is time for action and I need your help.
In 2012 a huge fire caused over $300,000 in damage to the farm's primary residence. My father and brother currently reside on the land in an effort not to lose it. They are in dire need of our help. I need your help just as desperately. We can make the money we need to save this farm off the land. We simply need some aid to begin. Without farm equipment this land will never turn a profit or pay its mortgage. Without gas and water however, nothing will thrive here. I implore your aid, or even just a SHARE to ensure we make waves. Not just for my family, but to prove that the American Dream need not be an upper- middle class cliché .





As a kid I remember going to Farmer's Markets around the area and being able to sustain ourselves, nourish our community, and alternatively lead a healthy life. I want to participate in that cycle again, enriching the lives of those who consume our produce, work off our land, and struggle in our community. My wife is currently pregnant with our third child and we have given up the trivialities of city life for an heirloom that can make all the difference, to us all. Please help us achieve our dream of being able to produce organically on our land again.


All donations will go towards:
getting the house livable with cleaning supplies, a dumpster, repairing walls, repairing growing equipment, fixing the greenhouse, buying a tractor, getting gas and water restored to the farm, and obtaining produce as well as sustainable livestock.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
