Hello everyone,

We are so excited to have reached our goal of raising $3,000 with plenty of time to spare! Huge thanks to all of you for donating and spreading the word.

Since we still have 17 days left we want to continue with the momentum we have. Our new goal is to reach $5,000, so keep spreading the word!

Thanks!!!

      Is there still a way to donate through this site? I can't seem to find the link.
      Thanks,

      Nancy,
      The Kickstarter page closed on July 10 and donating was cut off then. However, if you are still interested in making a donation, our organization would be very grateful. Please contact us at info@acreresidency.org. You can easily make a donation using Paypal or send us a check.

      Thanks for your interest and generosity. We look forward to hearing from you.
      Emily

Update #1: THANKS and an UPDATE!!

Posted on June 13, 2010

Hello!

Thank you to all our generous donors who have contributed so far! We have made great strides in the last few weeks getting over half way to our goal of $3,000. We appreciate your support and hope that you will continue to help get the word out.

Last weekend the ACRE staff went to visit Steuben, Wisconsin, the site of this year’s residency specifically to meet with the local farmers and Amish communities. We met a lot of great people and are excited to work with them in providing the food for our residents this year.

Thanks again!
ACRE
