Buy a t-shirt and help us out!

We take a little break from toilet talk to let you know that we launched a t-shirt campaign today to help raise
some funds for farm start-up costs.

Our "Food Security is National Security" t-shirt is now available at www.teespring.com/foodsecurity. With Brett's military experience and our belief that small farms are key to the future of this country's food system, this is an important message worth spreading. The shirts are $20 and silk screen printed on a Made in the USA American Apparel t-shirt.

We have big plans for this property. We want to create a small, diversified organic farm that not only helps feed our community, but also teaches people how to feed themselves. This summer, Brett became certified in permaculture design and we hope to use these methods to create an educational farm one day.

All of our grand ideas definitely come with a decent price tag and every little bit will help us. The proceeds from this project will help with start-up farm costs, specifically beginning with the purchase of 100 laying hens and the necessary accompanying supplies and equipment. But in order for us to receive the funds, we need to sell 200 in 21 days!

If you'd like to support us, but don't necessarily need or want the shirt, then have it mailed directly to us at 8856 Cottage Road, South Dayton, NY 14138 and we will donate it to a local veteran organization. All shirts will arrive between Dec. 14-17, so it's a great holiday gift too!

Since we started this farming journey in 2010, we have been continually humbled at how many people have supported and encouraged our farming journey. We are truly appreciative and we hope you will consider helping us out at this critical juncture of our adventure.

Thanks in advance!
