The story of the Farm Village is a miraculous one. But this isn’t just our story. It’s your story. The entire Wild + Free community came together to make this dream possible. Now it’s ours to steward for the next generation.
This is a place where families are brought closer together, mothers and fathers are strengthened and encouraged in their roles, and children are given the space to run wild and free.
After being shut-down by the pandemic, we lost all of our revenue for an entire season. It was a tremendous setback, but we don’t believe for an instant that we were brought all this way for nothing. We have big dreams for the Farm Village and are inviting you to be a part of the next chapter.
We created this catalog to cast vision for the Farm Village and share how you can help bring some important projects to life. We know you're not giving to get something, but we’ve put together some fun giving perks.
Will you help us raise the needed funds by December 31st? You can give to the general needs or select one of the specific causes in the list below.
The miraculous story of the Farm Village is not over. In fact, it’s just beginning. This property will continue to be a place for people to gather. Children will make unforgettable memories on these creek banks and hillsides. And families will be impacted for generations to come.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
