Rice Lane Farm are reaching out with a heartfelt request for help in keeping Rice Lane City Farm open and ensuring the continued care of the animals who depend on us every single day. Our farm is more than land and buildings—it is a place of responsibility, compassion, and deep commitment to our animals, our community, and the land itself.

At this moment, we are facing serious challenges that threaten our ability to continue. We urgently need funding for essential maintenance and repair work, including barns, fencing, equipment, irrigation, and animal shelters, as well as for something even more immediate and vital: feed for our animals. Providing consistent, nutritious feed is a daily necessity, and rising costs have made it increasingly difficult to meet this basic need.

These animals rely on us completely. Without adequate funding for maintenance and feed, their safety, health, and well-being are at risk. These are not optional expenses—they are essential to keeping the farm operating and ensuring the animals are properly cared for.

Rice Lane City Farm represents years of dedication, early mornings, late nights, and unwavering hope. It provides a safe and caring environment for animals, opportunities for learning and connection, and a vital green space within the community. Losing the farm would mean losing a place of care, education, and compassion that so many people and animals depend on.

We are seeking support through grants, donations, and community partnerships to help cover critical maintenance costs and ongoing animal feed expenses. Any contribution—financial support, in-kind donations, or guidance toward available resources—would make an immediate and meaningful difference.

Your support could be the reason Rice Lane City Farm stays open, the animals stay fed, and this place of purpose continues to serve the community. With your help, we can ensure the animals remain healthy, the land remains productive, and the farm continues to be a place of hope for years to come.
