🌾 A Heartfelt Message from M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc 🐄🐓🐑💚 🐾 This week’s feed bill totals $1,932.40 and is due today. So far, we’ve received $50, which means we still need to raise $1,882.40 to cover this week’s feed and hay order. We want to take a moment to sincerely thank the kind soul who sent in this week’s $50 donation. 💚 Your support truly makes a difference, and we are so grateful. We also want to say this from the heart: We know we ask a lot, and sometimes it may feel like we’re always sharing these posts and asking for help. But this isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are. Even if we never received another donation, we would still be here every single day caring for these animals, because this farm is our dream, our calling, and our life’s work. We share these updates not out of desperation, but out of honesty and transparency — because those who care about M&B deserve to see the real picture of what it takes to keep a rescue like ours going. Every single bit of support — whether it’s a few dollars, kind words, or even a share — helps us more than we can ever say. ❤️ 💬 Why We Share These Posts We believe in being completely transparent about what it really takes to run a licensed nonprofit rescue and sanctuary. We’re not complaining — we just want those who care to know where their support goes. Each year, it costs between $125,000 and $130,000 to keep M&B running. That includes: 🐄 Feed & hay (our largest expense) 🩺 Veterinary care for rescues & farm animals 🏡 Fencing, barns, and shelter repairs 💡 Utilities, cleaning, and daily supplies 📋 Licensing, insurance, and compliance 🚜 Everyday operations — fuel, tools, and upkeep 📊 The Real Numbers 2022 — $40,710.88 cost, no donations or sales (100% self-funded) 2023 — $127,229.48 cost | $4,065 donations | $33,544.38 sales → we covered $89,602.10 2024 — $128,672.40 cost | $2,343.50 donations | $49,820.89 sales → we covered $76,508.01 2025 (as of last Friday) — $83,272.15 cost | $7,555.46 donations | $21,405.43 sales → we’ve covered $54,311.26 Even through storms, sickness, or sleepless nights — not one meal has ever been missed. ❤️ 💸 Ways to Help Today 💰 PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/MB-Donate 🌐 Givebutter: givebutter.com/MBFarm 💸 Zelle: info@mbfarmhatchery.com 🎁 Gift Cards: Tractor Supply gift cards are always appreciated! 🏡 In Person: Credit/debit cards or cash at the farm ✉️ Mail a Check: M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc 630 Sloan Hill Rd Hortense, GA 31543 Please memo “Feed” if donating online so it goes straight toward this week’s order. 🚜 Tractor Work, Fuel & Maintenance Donations A huge thank you to Mr. David Howard, one of our most dedicated volunteers and a true friend to M&B. ❤️ Mr. David donates countless hours of his time and even brings his personal tractor to help with fencing, pond building, clearing land, and moving hay.

🌾💦 Pond Build — Day 2 Update! 💦🌾 Big progress today at the farm! Mr. David spent about 7 hours out there working hard — moving more dirt, digging the pond even deeper, and shaping the area for the overflow drainage and ditching. 💪 We’re almost there — just a few more feet to go before the drainage and overflow work is complete and we can start getting the culvert pipes in place. Since part of the pond overlaps our field road, we’re making sure everything flows safely and smoothly once the water starts filling in. 💧 It’s amazing to watch this project come to life, one long day at a time. Huge thanks to Mr. David for his incredible time and dedication — we couldn’t do it without him! 🙏💚 Stay tuned for Day 3 — we’re getting closer every day to a finished pond for our animals and farm family to enjoy! 🐄🐷🐓🦆🌻 #MBFarmAndHatchery #PondProject #FarmLife #CommunityStrong #VolunteerPower (fb)
