Hello, our names are Ethel and Ashley Howard. We are the owners of Heavens Harvest Farm located in New Braintree, MA.

We are a three-generation family farm, certified USDA organic, and have been operating since 1995. We have found true health out of illness by a reliance on organic food, most of which we grow for our family and the thousands of customers we have supplied through eight farmers markets in MA and our loyal CSA members. We also deliver to 15 Whole Foods locations as well.

This past year, we were scammed by a criminal enterprise masquerading as an investment opportunity, hoping to build a small operational nest egg. They stole over $50000 between our small entrance amount and added fees and supposed taxes all of which put us in a truly likely insurmountable hole of debt.

We are crushed by the rampant lying and thievery which awakened us to the actual scam. Contacting the FBI and the DOD proved disappointing as they will not typically become involved unless your loss is at least $1000000.00

We were attempting to put our family farm on a somewhat more secure footing to pass along to our three grown children. We are asking for mercy here from those who might understand our plight. We were cheated out of our opportunity to continue our goal to bless many with healthy local organic produce to our many thousands of customers. Please consider helping as you can.

My wife and I are 73 years old and are both grieved and bewildered that such evil is, according to government research, growing quickly, covering the whole globe.

Thank you for your every consideration and kindness.

Ashley+Ethel Howard

we thank God for mercy

Reaching this goal will allow us to begin and continue our 2026 organic farming operation to bless our many customers that mean very much to us.
