Agape Hill Farm is privileged to be part of a community-based effort to help a local farm family. We have volunteered our blogspot and other venues of communication to help get the word out about this worthwhile project:

Barn Builders, a local peer support group for farmers with disabilities, is working thru Vermont AgrAbility Project, The Vermont Center for Independent Living and the Northeast Kingdom Community Action Agency, Inc. (KEKCA) to help a local woman and her daughter realize a dream. (See story below) Barn Builders is looking to the community for help to complete a modest addition for Kelly and her daughter. The foundation has already been poured and a local architect Gregory Paus of Silver Ridge Design Inc in Hyde Park has volunteered to design the construction plans which will include a second bedroom, kitchen and workspace. Larry Hamel of Cornerstone Restoration Corporation is helping to oversee and coordinate construction. With donations for materials and volunteer builders, it is hoped the family will be able to enjoy the living space this winter. This will be a life changing gift to Kelly and her daughter and one that will allow them to pursue their desire to live independently. For questions contact Tom Younkman (Project contact and AgrAbility Specialist) at 802-229-6419 to donate or volunteer, please contact Nancy Kish (Local Contact) at 802-472-3711.
