My name is Reuben Schwartz. My wife, Kathy and I are asking for your help to support a local family farm in St. Clair Township that was broken into and robbed in late September.

The farm is known as Just Farmin’ and is owned and operated by Steve and Barb Willis. They provide locally grown vegetables, meats, and eggs to families, Senior Centers and restaurants in Southwest Ohio.

The thieves took tools, generators, tractor parts, along with produce and eggs. The produce and eggs were already reserved for paying customers. Since the Willis' don't live on the farm, their insurance doesn't cover all of the losses they've experienced from this robbery.

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to help Steve and Barb get their farm operating again so they can continue their mission of providing healthy, local food to families and businesses in the Liberty Township area.

You can find Just Farmin' at the West Chester Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in the Midpointe Library parking lot off Union Center Blvd.

Won't you please help get this family farm running again to support your neighbors in Southwest Ohio? We'd really appreciate it.
