My name is Jacob Vergien, I am the eldest grandchild of the Perrin family. Due to a unfortunate series of events that happened on January 30th 2026, the main cow barn used for milking the organic dairy cattle started on fire and burnt down. While we were able to save about 50% of the cattle, the destruction of the barn is so severe, there is no possibility of salvation of any part of the barn. Therefore, they are unable to milk the cattle, and Patricia and Thomas will have to go without the funds they would normally receive.

The PATOM Farm has been a family farm for over 60 years. All of children, grandchildren and many friends have grown up and and made being on the farm a great learning experience. With many generations of understanding, work ethic, hard work and determination, Pat and Tom displayed that everyday being on the farm while still milking twice a day in their mid 70's. Despite having current health complications they have continued to work for what they love to do and enjoy the hard work it takes to run and operate a fully functional farm.

All raised proceeds will be given directly to Patricia and Thomas for covering damage and repairs and any future funds that they will require for day to day living.
