I want to share an important story about our farm and the challenges we are facing. Recently, we were awarded a $15,000 grant that would have helped us improve our farm’s infrastructure. This funding was crucial for us to grow and develop our farm further. Unfortunately, the current administration of the U.S. government decided to defund this grant, which has left us in a tough spot.
You might wonder why a $15,000 grant is such a big deal. Well, every bit of funding helps when you are trying to build something great. This money was meant to support critical infrastructure, like better tools and equipment, that would allow us to expand our operations. With this funding, we could have taken our farm to the next level, making it more efficient and productive.
Now, without this grant, our ability to develop is significantly impacted. We are limited to using only hand tools, which makes our work much harder and slower. We want to grow our crops, support our community, and contribute to local food production, but it’s challenging when we don’t have the resources we need.
This experience has taught us how important funding is for small farms like ours. It’s not just about the money; it’s about the opportunities that come with it. We believe in the potential of our farm and the positive impact we can have, but we need support to make that happen.
We hope that by sharing our story, we can raise awareness about the challenges small farms face when funding is cut. We are committed to finding new ways to grow and improve, but we also need the help of our community and supporters. Together, we can advocate for better funding and resources for farms like ours.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We appreciate your support and hope to keep you updated on our journey.
