Now that we’re having lots of beautiful, blue sky days, it’s hard to believe the storms we’ve all had to weather over the past year! From the sadness of the COVID-19 pandemic to the devastating fire we suffered on February 22nd, 2021...we sometimes feel like the eye of the storm is right over our peaceful Farm.
And now, as we work so hard to Rise Up and rebuild our barns and vital youth program, the perfect storm hovers again. Lumber costs have TRIPLED over the past year, mainly due to supply/demand issues because of the pandemic, and we found out our barns were grossly underinsured. Yet, we know we need to continue to Rise Up to rebuild for our amazing rescue animals, and for the remarkable youth in need who we serve.
Thankfully, we have our own silver lining in the storm clouds: the incredible, big-hearted community of people who have donated and volunteered to help Purpose Farm! We are so grateful to all of you! More beautiful, blue sky days are right around the corner, and we continue to need your help to achieve our Rise Up rebuilding goals!

Gilbert the Goat
Estimated DOB: February 2015
Arrival date: September 2nd, 2015
Pretty much everything that God calls us to do rarely makes sense however he ALWAYS knows the bigger picture. I was contacted by Molly Williams, a woman who has aided in animal rescues in the past, like Romeo the rooster. She knew of a goat that was in dire need of a home. She had been trying since spring to find him a home but no one would take him. Sounds like God had a plan in mind. The goat was born as a meat goat. As a baby he had severe frostbite and not only lost half of each ear but his hind feet. So when the owner went to take him and his brother to slaughter they rejected the goat as you can not slaughter injured animals. The owner figured he would just bring him home and butcher him himself, but when he saw what a fighter he is the owner decided not to slaughter him but also did not want to keep him. When I read the first part of Molly's message I thought NO, we can not take on anymore animals financially and time wise. But then I saw the picture and video and his living conditions, there was an immediate without hesitation knowing, that we absolutely needed to take this goat. He loves to give kisses and the kids really bond with him.
