F.A.R.M. is truly a concept that allows those who would like to give their agricultural resources in an efficient and effective manner. Coordination of donations of animals, transportation to slaughterhouses, cutting and packaging by meat packers, and shipment to pantry and shelter sites is done on an organized basis with lots of volunteers help along the way.

F.A.R.M. Ministry began in Ottawa County in 1998.  4H Fair Donations 1998 55 Animals 1999 160 Animals 2000 270 Animals 2001 183 Animals 2002 158 Animals 2003 170 Animals 2004 173 Animals 2005 164 Animals 2006 163 Animals 2007 180 Animals 2008 160 Animals 2009 168 Animals (Includes 28 small animals) 2010 132 Animals (Includes 16 small animals) 2011 137 Animals (Includes 21 small animals) 2012 141 Animals (Includes 17 small animals) Livestock Producer Donations 2005 98 Animals 2006 107 Animals 2007 215 Animals 2008 162 Animals 2009 186 Animals 2010 148 Animals 2011 125 Animals 2012 116 Animals Click on the links below to learn more about F.A.R.M.
