Sadly, we were recently the victims of a robbery...

​

On Thursday, May 27th, someone stole $2,500 worth of tools, damaged several farm vehicles and stole our tractor. Altogether, the incident totaled about $55,000 - $60,000. 

​

As you can expect, the entire situation has been very frustrating and disappointing. However, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Special Agent Deadman from the Department of Agriculture and the assistance of our vigilant neighbor, Tino, after a week of searching- our stolen tractor was recovered and returned to its home!!! 

 

This incident has revealed that if Cobblestone is going to continue to expand access to fresh foods and strive to make NWA a better place to live, we need to substantially invest in the safety of our people, animals, plants, equipment and facilities. 

 

Here's our plan:

​

• Install additional exterior fencing around entrances to the farm.

• Construct a shop building to provide a secure vehicle and equipment storage space.

• Install additional security cameras, motion sensors, and alarms.

 

But we can't accomplish all of this alone. We need your help to improve the farm's security and prevent future incidents. 

 

We have set a goal of raising $10k to fund these vital security measures. And this is where you can make a tangible difference.
