April 2020 update: 
We believe the stress on local food pantries and food banks is going to be ​unprecedented. We need your help to provide good healthy protein that can be easily prepared for families in need over the next 6-9 months. The actual need is in the $100's of thousands of dollars, however, if we could supply a portion of that need we could remove a portion of the stress on our local food pantry and food bank network. Food and shelter are the two most important needs today. Please consider helping with supplying this high protein food during this need in our community. For those that can, please consider a meaningful sustaining contribution at this time. 

​The 2020 Earl Farm Foundation benefit event scheduled for this summer is currently on hold. Details I hope will come soon.

The 2017 Earl Farm Foundation Field to Table Benefit Dinner, held on July 20th, raised over $12,000. That amount of money allowed us to buy and sell calves and cows that eventually turned into 6,000 pounds of fresh hamburger in 1 pound packages. The beef was distributed four times; December of 2017, March of 2018, April and December of 2019. The receiving organizations were Torch 180, LACASA, SonRise Food Pantry, Family Impact Center of Fowlerville, Gleaners of Livingston County, and Bountiful Harvest of Brighton. 

In total, our little sunflower field to table dinner party provided 6,000 pounds of hamburger to our community and a 20 cu. ft. freezer to The Torch!

Food banks in Livingston County are working to keep up with the community's needs amid the coronavirus outbreak, distributing more than 100 tons of food last month.
Gleaners Community Food Bank distributed 200,000 pounds of food in March, 40,000 pounds more than in March 2019. 
According to the food bank, the increase was distributed through its normal Shared Harvest Pantry distribution, as well as increased distributions at the Pinckney School Food Mobile and Three Fires School Food Mobile.
Additionally Gleaners hosted biweekly breakfasts and lunches at Fowlerville High School, the Pinckney bus garage and Hartland High School and meal packages to Livingston Senior Nutrition and other organizations serving seniors. --
