I write this post asking those in the local grown community to help a fellow local grower family.
On Christmas Eve morning, Cornerstone Farm of Henning, had a barn fire. Lost in the blaze was Stephen and Brittney Springer’s 1,000-plus milking goat herd, a flock of peacocks and the family’s dog. The barn was destroyed as well as equipment.
This family, featured in a November 22 post in The Local Growers, is passionate about food and food production. They are dedicated to sustainable agriculture and have built strong connections with consumers and farmers. Brittney has been the Battle Lake Farmers Market manager.
I will be short and to the point. This is, obviously, a big loss.
If you feel moved to help, the best and most efficient way to assist is through direct donations via Venmo and PayPal for their farm accounts. These are the accounts which they accept payments from customers and vendors.
Here is the info:
Venmo: Cornerstone-Farm

Thank you
