Let’s come together to raise a community barn!
We have already raised the majority of the funding to complete a renovated barn for community use. We are now asking you to help raise the remaining $50,000 to kick the project across the finish line with a donation of $50. This barn will be a thriving multipurpose space for families; think expanded indoor educational programs for children and adults, barn suppers, potluck dinners, live concerts, art and yoga classes, barn dances, plays, workshops and more! Plus, there will be a year-round farm store where you can buy seasonal produce and products from Wakeman and other area farms.
Thanks to incredible matching donors, your family’s donation will be worth double! So, a $50 donation will turn into $100. With 500 family donations of $50 each, we will reach our goal! Of course, feel free to donate any amount!
Thank you for your ongoing support of Westport’s one and only community farm. We are proud to be growing community connection, love of nature, and the simple joys of traditions like gardening, cooking, animal care and sustainable living.
