you can Donate essential supplies by using our amazon wish list. the supplies will directly benefit the animals' daily lives, or choose toys/enrichments that will benefit the animals' mental wellbeing. There are some items on our list that would make our lives a lot easier, which would free up more time to focus on caring for the animals. We appreciate any type of donation. We are farmers because we love our animals, but unfortunately that isn't enough to run a successful farm.
Preserving Our Legacy: The Last Barn Standing Restoration Fund
We’re deeply committed to preserving the timeless charm of our old red barn. This weathered yet resilient structure holds within its walls generations of memories—echoes of harvests, shared laughter, and the spirit of those who tended the land before us. Our mission is clear: to honor its history and ensure its survival for the future.
Why This Fundraiser Matters
- Historical Link: Our barn stands as an embodiment of Appalachian rural heritage in Madison County. These old barns are more than wood and nails; they’re cherished repositories of our past. Restoring this barn isn’t just about fixing beams; it’s about connecting us to the hardworking souls who shaped our community.
- Cultural Symbol: Barns are more than structures; they’re woven into our collective identity. They’ve weathered storms, witnessed celebrations, and silently held the weight of countless stories. Our barn stands as a beacon—a testament to resilience and community bonds.
- Safety and Longevity: Picture the barn—the leaking roof, the sagging beams. It’s slowly inching downhill toward the creek, its cement blocks straining under the weight of time. Restoration isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. We want visitors, our animals, and future generations to explore its nooks without fear.
How We’ll Use the Funds
- Structural Repairs: Skilled craftsmen will meticulously repair the sagging roof, reinforce the timeworn beams, and stabilize the foundation. Safety comes first.
- Historical Documentation: We’ll capture the barn’s soul through photographs, and written accounts. Every creaking board has a story, and we’ll preserve them all.
- Authentic Materials: Reclaimed barn wood—each plank etched with memories—will maintain the barn’s character. It’s not just wood; it’s a bridge to our past.
- Community Events: The barn will come alive with barn dances under the stars, guided tours revealing its secrets, holiday celebrations echoing with laughter, and workshops where hands meet history.
