Mended by Grace Farm is a family farm that's open to the community. We allow opportunities for groups to come and see what it's like to live and work on the farm. Several groups are able to work along side our family and learn what happens behind the scenes in order to for the animals to thrive on a farm. It's also a great educational place for kids to have experiences that they don't normally get to in school and also fun for them to get up close an personal with animals they don't get to see very often. It would be my dream for this opportunity to continue for both my family and the community around us.

We just hit 250 signatures and it is clear that people are fed up with local officials trying to shut down Mended by Grace Farm. Those bureaucrats in the planning office better start paying attention because our community is not going to let them destroy this place.

The local bureaucrats are sitting on their hands while we fight to keep our gates open. Drag this petition across the finish line to 250 signatures so they finally have to pay attention to this community.

The local bureaucrats are betting we will give up and let this farm fade away. We are nearing one hundred signatures and we need to shove this right in their faces before they shut our gates for good. Get this in front of your neighbors today so we can hit that mark and put them on notice.

This is a loving and caring family who deserves to give these animals a good home. Such a huge benefit for both, and I see no nuisance to neighbors. If I could only look out my yard and see this instead of my neighbors junk!
Save the farm. This country is losing farmers daily. We need to encourage and teach others what it takes to farm. Steve and Erin are passionate about teaching others what it takes to provide excellent care for animals. Save This Farm!
Save the farm! A beautiful way to get children outside and away from technology. Learn to care for and appreciate nature and it’s animals. There are many neglected and unkept animals suffering and these animals are teaching children good things.
As a hobby farmer myself, I can vouch for the excellent care that Erin gives her animals. Managing a farm well takes a great deal of time, effort and money to ensure livestock stay healthy and happy. And Erin's animals always look top notch!
They have done a wonderful job with their farm. Our family has enjoyed watching it grow and helping them build things along the way. They have invited students from our school to visit and learn about their farm as well.
Great people that care deeply for their animals and keep up on making sure the animals are happy , healthy, and getting the love they need.
Personal endorsement letter has been provided in support of this family “farm.” Thank you.

Small farms are a vital part of successful communities--whether providing food, dairy, wool/fiber, compost, education, etc. I support the Schmukers and other farmers like them!
