Joshua Beebe of Tardif Farms in Coventry, CT, is a hardworking local farmer who is now at risk of losing both his home and the family farm he spent years building. After years of regulatory challenges, unexpected town-imposed expenses, and devastating losses within his poultry business, Joshua is facing possible foreclosure and the collapse of the livelihood he started as a teenager. Over the past several years, Joshua and his family have faced overwhelming hardships—some due to unfortunate circumstances and others stemming from ongoing challenges with Connecticut’s waterfowl and poultry regulations. These regulations, combined with the devastating financial and emotional toll of mandatory depopulation of birds, have severely impacted the livelihood of this small, family-run farm. In addition, the Town of Coventry has imposed extensive and costly permit requirements and property changes that were not required in the past. Due to staffing changes, different town employees have enforced new interpretations that resulted in thousands of dollars in expenses for surveyors, soil scientists, land reconstruction, and multiple permits. Public hearings for existing driveways and signage, along with wetlands restoration not required at the time of initial proposed plans, have added to the burden. These unexpected costs have placed an enormous financial strain on both Joshua’s home and business. As a result, Joshua and the farm are now facing the very real possibility of foreclosure, while his business continues to struggle just to survive. Joshua’s story is one of determination and hard work. He started his poultry business as a teenager on a piece of family property—with no electricity and no running water. Before the age of 21, he purchased his own home. While working full-time elsewhere and serving as a landlord to a tenant operating a landscaping business on what is now Tardif Farms, Joshua poured every ounce of effort into achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a business owner and poultry farmer for the past 12 years. Now, without support from friends, family, community members, and local businesses, that dream—and the future of Tardif Farms—may no longer be possible. Your support will help save the property from foreclosure by covering the costs of a surveyor and meeting the town’s requirements to release the lien. Any help is deeply appreciated and will make a real difference in keeping this cherished local farm alive. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful.
