On Sunday 28th, February Martin Bates lost their livelihood in a fire. They lost their meat plant and their dairy. Thankfully their animals were all saved but everything they have worked for is gone. 
The Bates family have put in over $500,000 building up the meat plant not only to support their family but also to help many other families. They now have 15 employees all unable to work.
They had started a community coop to help out the local farmers  and the people in the community. 
The family is devastated because of all the hard work they have put into this meat plant, farm and dairy.
Please help the family to rebuild and be able to provide for their family and get back to helping out their community.
