LOOKING AHEAD
This Year
This year, in November, we will hold our annual 5 K race one of our
key fund raising events for the farm. We draw about 200 people to the
race and this year we are going to add a family fun run and a kiddies
run to the event. The event is run out of Precious Blood Catholic Church
in Pawleys Island and the course runs thru our beautiful live oak tree
lanes and past one of our Outreach Farms in the community.
3-5 Years
Our 3-5 year plan calls for us to find a way to become self-sufficient.
Right now we have to raise all the required funds for equipment,
operating expenses and our one employee. We do this thru grants, fund
raisers, and gifts from supporters. In addition to raising cattle to
feed the hungry, as we are able to afford more leased acreage, we
will also grow more hay in excess of our needs and sell it to farms in
the area to generate needed funds for the farm – ultimately becoming
financially self -sufficient. This is our long term goal.
The Outreach Farm is the only organization of its kind in the United
States. For longer term consideration, we have received inquiries from
other people interested in duplicating the Outreach Farm in other areas
of South Carolina. This may be done on a franchise basis or on some
other kind of sharing approach.
