Lyn Farm: A non-profit Foundation
Community Project: A non-profit foundation “Lyn Farm” to own and manage the property using sustainable/organic production with value-added small ruminants, equine, poultry, forages, and gardens. The area transit buses can transport residents for youth programs after school, “Ag in the Classroom”, Jr. & Sr. Master Gardener, Tree Steward, Master Conservationist, photography and more. Schedule events such an Antique Tractor show, car show, field day events for ongoing research projects, open barn events for school or public interactive learning with the livestock; view goat milking and other activities including a community CSA garden. Currently we are renting the property and need to find funding for acquisition of this property.

The Big Brother/Sister or Foster Grandparent programs could be expanded. Our prison trustees with dogs could spend time training dogs on the farm. They could train a dog for a disabled farm family member.

The county is considering removing the established shelter belt and turning it into corn and soybeans. It costs money ($18,000) to remove this grove in the above photo. This area hasn't’t been farmed for over a century. Removing trees and applying chemicals on the land will destroy established prairie plants and the natural marsh that exists on this 25 acre property. By changing the management and ownership to make this a unit managed with livestock that browse or graze on this area makes better use of the existing natural resources that qualify for organic certification than to destroy this shelter belt. Public help is needed to stop the county.
This project needs volunteers and will create a few jobs that may be full or part-time employment. We can build rental cabins for freeway travelers and college interns. People will stop in and want to view the farm and shop in the farm retail store where they can buy locally grown value-added food a farm produce. The scheduled events will bring people to the farm and into the towns from outside the community to spend dollars.
