💚 Sunday Update From the Farm
It’s a cold and rainy Sunday here at M&B Farm & Hatchery… but as all of you know, the animals don’t take days off — and neither do we. 🐷🐐🐄🐓💦
Farm work continues in the mud, the rain, and everything in between. ❤️
Since our original post, we received a generous $200 donation from the Mallick Family (thank you so much!), but we have not had any additional donations this week.

💚 Why We’re Asking
We know it’s the holiday season, and everything seems to hit at once: gifts, travel, food, family gatherings, and the end of the year is always tight for everyone.
Please be aware that we don’t expect anything from anyone, and we never want to make anyone feel pressured to give.
But we also promised to be transparent with the community that supports us:
Our goal is to end 2025 with $0 owed, so we can enter 2026 without debt hanging over us, with no stress and no catch-up, just focusing on what matters most: the animals, the community, and the work we do every day.
To close out the year, we still need:
$6,011
(after the $200 donation)
---
💚 What $6,011 Actually Means
That number isn’t “profit” or “extra.”
It represents real bills for real animals, including:
✔️ Feed & hay — enough to feed dozens of animals every single day
✔️ Remaining vet bills from the medical cases we’ve taken in this year
✔️ Lumber and fencing for safe enclosures
✔️ Electrical upgrade to power heat lamps, brooders, and lighting
✔️ Supplies like grain, cat food, bedding, and supplements
In a simple way:
> $6,011 = food, safety, and care for the animals who live here.
Even $3–$10 makes a difference when a community works together. This farm has been built one small act of kindness at a time, and we believe that’s how we’ll finish this year, too.
And if your own holiday budget is tight, we fully understand. In that case, sharing this post helps just as much, because it reaches someone else who may be able to give.

🐷 Volunteer Help Today
Even though it’s chilly and raining, we’re out here finishing the pig pen fencing.
We have 10–12 brace boards left (2x4x16).
They’re not heavy — it just takes an extra pair of hands to hold the ends while we screw them in.
If one person or a couple of people have an hour today, we would love the help.
You will get muddy — so wear boots and old clothes 😄 But the animals will appreciate it, and so will we.
1 board or 10 — we are grateful for every bit of help. 💚

💚 Thank You

We believe in ending this year with hope, and we can only do that together.
Stay warm today, friends.
Even on rainy days, this farm is full of love. 🌧️🐾💚
