Ziemba Farm Fire Fund
Early in the morning on Sunday September 23, 2018, the Ziemba family dairy farm in Adams, MA suffered a devastating loss of two of their major barns to a fire. Loss of the barns included 800 round bales of hay used for winter feed, loss of a barn tractor, along with their primary shelter for their 250 head of cattle. This farm has been in the Ziemba family since 1935 and is one of the few dairy farms still operating in Berkshire County. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated to aid in the recovery process.

Gifts from the heart
Our world changed forever 5 weeks ago. The flames took our shelter and hay barn, our bull, our barn tractor and our winter hay. It tried to take our spirit too. In the first few hours after the fire, we felt the hope drain out of us as we surveyed the destruction. But as the hours passed and the firemen and EMTs stood by our sides, people showed up. Then, more people showed up. Some brought food to nourish our bodies. Others brought words to nourish our souls. Day after day, people have given their time, their resources, their finances, and their encouragement. All gifts from the heart. The fire tried to take our spirit, but the community has brought hope back to us and continues to give us the strength we need to push forward day after day, to get back to the fully working dairy farm we were 2 months ago. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support of our family and farm. We will always be grateful.
