🚨 ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT — THIS IS ALL OR NOTHING 🚨

We’re in the final 6 days of our Kickstarter campaign and we need to be very honest with you:

👉 We are less than halfway funded
👉 This campaign is ALL OR NOTHING
👉 If we don’t hit the goal, we receive $0

Every pledge disappears if we don’t cross the finish line.

This campaign is about keeping healthy, local food on your table and helping ABC Acres take the next critical step forward — improving our ability to safely, efficiently, and sustainably provide:

🥛 Farm-fresh dairy
🥩 Local beef & farm-to-table foods
🌱 Educational classes & community programs
🚚 Better systems so food gets from our farm to your family

We are a 4th-generation dairy family, and ABC Acres exists because we believe:
local food matters, community matters, and transparency matters.

If you’ve ever:
• picked up milk from us
• shopped at the farm or NewBo
• taken a class
• supported Iowa-grown food
• believed in small farms

💚 This is the moment we need you.

Even $5 or $10 makes a difference.
Sharing this post helps.
Commenting helps the algorithm help us.

👉 Please pledge if you can:
🔗 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/665651487/healthy-food-to-your-table

👉 Please share this post so more people see it.
👉 Please help us reach the goal so this funding doesn’t disappear.

If you’ve already pledged — THANK YOU. Truly.
If you can’t pledge, sharing is just as powerful.

👇 Comment 💚, “shared,” or “pledged” so we can thank you personally.

We believe in this farm, this mission, and this community — but we can’t do it alone.
6 days. Let’s make it happen together.
