They served us an eviction notice, they are trying to kick us out so they can sell the property for condos. Here's a link to the farm's page and a petition we made. I'm Jennifer Rose on facebook.

We need help!

VOLUNTEER:

Farming, carpentry, website development, creating a kickstarter video, grant writing, promoting events, fundraising, outreach, grant writing, legal aid, automobile and tractor repair, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, and roofing.

DONATE:

We can accept cash, checks, and credit cards. You can donate directly through facebook with no fees. The farm also has a wish list of items to donate.

We are still up and running till they shut us down... and probably a little longer. We need people more than ever, we have a sweet little sheep spanging gig where we go out with a little lamb, and we are booking tons of house shows. We have a sketchy as fuuuck treehouse stage that we are trying to expand. We're trying not to keep people more than six days so we can get fresh blood cycling through, be prepared to be worked to death. Don't bother showing up if you can't be sober and behave. We are under totally under fire right now and we don't need any more legal hassles. But PLEASE tell everyone you can, we need help. Share the page, share the petition, donate, if we can get a decent down payment we can make an offer on the place. If you know anyone who can help in anyway, please let them know.

This is my little crusty

If I had the funds I would give it to you. I am sorry to hear about this. I did share on facebook and google+ so hopefully this helps. Wish I could do more.

Sucks ass... Maybe use all raised funds to start looking for a new spot... Once property owners start talking condos its gonna be pretty much impossible to dissuade them. Sad fact is its the amount of cash being offered is so much they don't give a shit about anything else.

Hi, Jennifer!

I'd like to sign your petition, but I kept getting sent to a page for animal rights.

I belong to a ton of AR groups, but what I'm looking for are more community organizations to network with.

This country doesn't need more government controlled housing, it needs more loving, free communities.

I love what you're doing!

Good luck!

I merged both your threads since you posted the same thing twice.

Only one of the two co-owners wants to sell, the other gave us an option to buy. If we can get a down payment enough people on board we can actually force a sale to us. The spot is amazing, close to downtown Portland, ME and 32 acres. There isn't going to be a better spot in the area.

We have a ton of shows booked, so bands coming though can book a show with us. We also have a Go Fund Me. I think we're at a whopping 20bux.
