Brayden's Dream Farm

Every child has dreams, and Brayden Archer Nickel was no exception. With a heart full of creativity and adventure, this spirited four-year-old had a vision of a magical petting zoo where beloved storybooks came to life through animals. Sadly, Brayden’s journey was cut short by a tragic accident, but his dream continues to inspire us.

We invite you to join us in honoring Brayden's legacy by donating to Brayden's Dream Farm, a 26-acre petting zoo nestled in the heart of Bucklin, Missouri. This enchanting space will transform Brayden's dreams into reality by bringing together Faith, Family, and Farm at its core.

Imagine wandering through vibrant landscapes inspired by cherished tales. Have you read "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"? Picture yourself crossing a charming bridge, surrounded by a scenic stream, where friendly goats greet you, and perhaps a mischievous troll is hiding beneath the bridge! With 36 beloved stories brought to life, families will create unforgettable memories as they interact with animals that resonate with each tale.

By supporting Brayden's Dream Farm, you are helping us create a unique and magical experience that celebrates the joy and wonder of storytelling. Your contributions will directly aid in developing this special place where families can bond, learn, and explore together, all in loving memory of Brayden Archer Nickel, who passed away on April 30, 2023.

Let’s carry forward Brayden's passion and vision for a petting zoo that nurtures creativity and connection for generations to come.

Donate today and help us realize his dream! Together, we can create a space where love, stories, and animals come together to magic for all.

Thank you for your support. The funds raised will be allocated towards essential infrastructure improvements that are crucial for the growth and sustainability of our farm.
