Structures will need to be dropped off at the farm, as I don't have a way of transporting them. Please contact me ahead of time before coming so I can make sure there's room, as space is limited right now. Any structures are subject to inspection before being donated, to determine if it's worth taking. Any wooden sheds which are structurally compromised, (missing the floor, have holes in the roof/sides, ect), are not accepted. Any greenhouses which are missing more then 2 panels, or are structually compramised, (rusted out or missing supports or are missing major components like a door or vent cover), are not accepted.

If you have any questions or would like to donate an item feel free to message, email, or call me. Please include your name, description, (and photos), of what you'd like to donate, (and any issues it has if it needs work), and the best way to contact you, when contacting me to donate an item. If you call please leave a message with your name, description of what you'd like to donate, and the best number to reach you at. Anyone who doesn't leave a message will not receive a call back due to high numbers of spam calls.
All items taken go to my farm's swap shop, (Ye Ole Swap Shop), which is a place where people in the community can either swap or buy them. Any equipment I get for free I don't need to buy parts for, as well as any tools and garden supplies I offer for swap or purchase, as I'm not losing any money if someone gets it free since I got it free. Ye Ole Swap shop is meant to be a community space and a business, where the local community and abroad can connect to each other, and share farm and garden stuff with each other
