Needs & Wishes
Cleaning out your basement, garage or barn? Before you throw anything away, consider recycling it by donating it to the farm. Our projects require a wide variety of materials and tools, and we are grateful for the support of those who donate. We are not a non-profit organization, so your donation will not be tax-deductible. However, we will put your donation to good use.
