<div>My name is Carl Hill, and I’ve dedicated my life to farming, animals, and teaching the next generation where real food comes from.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On my small Stratton farm, I’ve watched kids learn to milk goats, train mini-horses, show others how to collect eggs, and connect with animals in ways that genuinely change them.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve seen anxious kids light up, veterans relax for the first time in years, and families reconnect with nature through simple, meaningful experiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now, I have the chance to purchase and protect 360 acres of American farmland in Farmington, Maine</strong>—a once-in-a-lifetime property with barns, greenhouses, hay fields, and everything needed to build a true community farm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But this land must be secured quickly before it’s divided or developed</strong>. My plan is to turn this land into a place where kids learn farming and animal care, veterans find healing through horses and gentle miniature livestock, and families enjoy goat walks, farm tours, and hands-on dairy classes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Carl Hill has been an invaluable 4-H volunteer in Franklin County for nearly four years. He is a reliable leader, thoughtful mentor, and strong advocate for youth development. Carl has supported our annual 4-H fair with livestock demonstrations, mentored young participants in our small equine program, and created safe, encouraging learning experiences for youth of all backgrounds. He also played a key role in fundraising, helping our program raise $20,000 to support local 4-H initiatives. Carl is dependable, kind, and deeply committed to strengthening our community and expanding opportunities for young people."
</div>
<div>— Tara Marble &amp; Kristen Grondin, University of Maine Cooperative Extension
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mini-donkeys, mini-horses, cows, goats, pigs, and more will be bred responsibly <strong>for therapy and education, and Maine’s farmland will be protected rather than lost forever.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just a farm — it’s a place where people come to heal, learn, and belong. A place that preserves Maine’s agricultural future. A place where community is grown, not just food.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But I can’t do it alone.</strong> Your support will help secure the land, restore the barns, expand the miniature livestock program, and launch the educational and therapeutic services that our community desperately needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every dollar protects American farmland.</strong> Every share helps build a place that changes lives. Every contribution brings this dream closer to reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will be used to secure the 360-acre farm property, restore the barns and fencing, expand miniature livestock breeding (mini-donkeys, mini-horses, goats, pigs, and mini-cows), develop educational programs, offer community farm tours, and support hands-on classes in cheese, butter, and dairy making. Your support directly protects Maine farmland and helps build a community farm for children, families, and veterans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you from the bottom of my heart</strong>,
</div>
<div><br />
