Dear Road’s End Farm Family,
We made it! It's the official end of our giving campaign. And all we can say is WOW! Just wow! With your help, we surpassed our goal of $100,000 and have raised over $145,000 for our beloved Farm! Our deepest thanks to everyone who has participated by giving and sharing. It’s because of YOU that this campaign has been such a stunning success!
In true Road’s End Farm fashion, we’ll leave the GoFundMe open for the ‘Slow Packers’ out there, and you can also continue to give via Venmo and check. This website will go largely dormant, but FoREF will be here, perhaps in a different capacity, for future efforts.
Going forward, you can continue to support the Farm by attending camp and off-season programming (see you at Women’s Weekend 2021?!). You can also help by sharing far and wide your love for REF: bringing new generations into our Farm family is the very best way to sustain our home at the end of the road.
Check out one last round of goodies we’ve made as a token of our appreciation for your help and support. On our Goodies & Extras page, you’ll find a new trivia quiz, a new photo album, and access to a number of videos that will tug at your heartstrings and make you feel like you’re right back at the Farm.
We have loved creating and managing this campaign. Reconnecting with you and with the Farm has been a bright spot during these difficult, pandemic-heavy months. We hope it has been a bright spot for you, too. Let’s keep working together to make sure REF, our source of endless joy and love, stays healthy for many years to come.
Bless Road’s End Farm forever 💚
With much love and appreciation,
The Friends of Road’s End Farm Team
ps. Below is a little thank-you video we put together. To help us celebrate the campaign's success, join us in the challenge Diana mentions! Head to Instagram or Facebook to share a picture of you and your Farm buddies with the hashtag #FoREFChallenge. Tag two friends to keep it going!

Dear Road’s End Farm Family,
In this season of celebrating love and togetherness, we invite you to make Road’s End Farm your valentine! Hopefully we’ll be able to cuddle up to our favorite ponies at the end of the road soon, but in the meantime we can use our love languages to show our devotion from a distance:
- Giving gifts: Any amount is so appreciated and makes a big difference.
- Acts of service: Share our social media posts to help spread the word! Keep an eye out for a fun Valentine’s Day-themed activity on the @RoadsEndFarm Instagram.
- Quality time: Reminisce via some new goodies, including a Valentine's Day-themed trivia quiz, PLUS a playlist of camp songs new and old. Remember all those special moments singing together?! Find us on Spotify @Friends of Road’s End Farm.
- Words of affirmation: Share your why and we’ll publish it on our website. While you’re here, don’t forget to read others’ reasons for giving. And, if you sent a message on GoFundMe, Venmo, or when you signed up for the mailing list, please email us if it’s ok to share your words on our website!
- Physical touch: This one is tricky in a pandemic, but you can almost feel the hugs and pony snuggles as you scroll through this new album of Farm photos!
Thank you, thank you to everyone who has already contributed. We could not have made it this far without you! AND there are still two weeks to go in our campaign. We can’t wait to see how you all show your love for the Farm in the next few weeks.
With love and appreciation,
The Friends of Roads End Farm Team

Dear Road’s End Farm Family,
Welcome, 2021! It sure got off to a rough start, but we’re hopeful that there are better days to come and that we’ll all be able to meet soon at the end of the road. It is cold up there these days - it hasn’t been above freezing for over a week. Think of all those furry ponies … awww
We’re writing with an update to warm up these cold, gray winter days and to bring you a little joy. First and foremost, THANK YOU to the 247 donors who have helped us raise a whopping $87,779.00 for our beloved Farm. You’ve helped us get to almost 90% of our goal in just a month and a half! We are so appreciative of your generosity and support. And thank you to everyone who has helped in other ways, like sharing via social media, writing in with their “why”, and visiting our website. Keep up the great work!
If you haven’t given yet, it’s not too late. We’re aiming to raise $100,000 by March 1st, so there is still plenty of time. And there are a lot of ways you can support this effort if you’ve given already or if you’re not in a place to give right now:
Share! Getting the word out is a HUGE help. Share our website and social media posts about the campaign widely and often.
Contribute! Write us with your reasons for supporting the Farm via the Share Your Why page.
Play! There are some new goodies up, including a new trivia quiz and a new photo album full of joyful, summery pictures.
Thank you again for your help and support. We could not have done it without you! Look for another update from us in mid-February, and in the meantime, stay warm and cozy, and start thinking about making the Farm your valentine <3
With love and appreciation,
The FoREF Team

We’ve had an amazing start to the giving campaign to benefit the Farm: as of this writing, we have passed the halfway mark, with $58,039 raised. Thank you, thank you to the 170 generous donors who have already helped us end 2020 with a bang! Your gift, no matter what size, is so appreciated and will go a long way to uphold the future of the Farm we all love so dearly.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by March 1st, 2021, so there is still plenty of time to contribute if you haven’t done so yet! There are lots of ways to keep supporting the Farm in the new year:
Stick around to explore this website, including all the ways you can give to the Farm, plus details about what your gift supports.
