History of the Farm: In 2008 Erin Maxwell, an 11 year old girl, from Palermo, NY, was found to be neglected by her father and stepmother. She was also abused and strangled to death by her adult stepbrother. It was then that Founder Sandra Seabrook knew she could no longer sit around hearing the end result of abused and neglected children, but had to do something to try and save these children. She cried out loud to God to tell her what to do and he answered.
The Seabrook family went on a missions trip to Romania in March of 2008. They would always pass by a horse farm on the way to the orphanages. Sandra thought wouldn't it be great if they could hook the horse farm up with the children in the orphanages to give them a sense of a purpose, a hope and show them that there is a different way of life and people that love them. Well God said, "Why can't you do your horse farm idea here in the US?" Sandra shared her idea with her husband and our children and Purpose Farm was born.
Join us in seeking the children, showing them love and letting them know they too have a purpose!
