Piglets & Pancakes Spring Fundraiser 2026 🐷🥞🌱

What an incredible day on the farm!

We are feeling so grateful after welcoming so many of you to our Piglets & Pancakes Spring Fundraiser. Because of your generosity, volunteer support, attendance, and donations, we were able to raise $13,000 toward the $27,000 needed to launch our new Adult Mental Health Garden program this season.

This farm continues to grow into so much more than a place of food production. It has become a space where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, work with their hands, and find grounding through connection with soil, plants, animals, and community.

One of the most meaningful reflections from the day came from Cameron, who shared that just as healthy soil is the foundation for everything we grow on the farm, the farm itself has become the foundation for our mental health programs. A healing space where connection, groundedness, ease, and peace can take root in people.

We truly could not do this work without your support. Thank you for believing in what we are building together.

There is still time to help us reach our goal for this season through a general donation or by joining our new Adopt an Animal program 🐮🐷🐴🐓 LINK in bio

These winter months have been kind to us on the farm, lending time for rest, renewal, and inspiration for the coming season. 🤍
The farm has settled into a quieter, slower pace, and the mild weather has granted us time to catch up on some backlogged projects—spreading more compost onto the fields to feed this year’s hay and pasture crops, continuing training with the working cattle, and refurbishing farm equipment.
The cow herd has been especially content this winter, with 40–50 degrees and sunshine being their favorite weather! ☀️
And it won’t be long until some of our gestating dairy cows begin birthing their spring calves, with the first cow, Windee, due in early March. New life on the farm is always a welcomed sign of spring, and we are excited to share this seasonal journey with you as the farm wakes up from its winter slumber. 🌱🐄
