Below are the top twelve reasons to give to TLC Farm this year. Please be generous, our all-volunteer organization can stretch the power of your dollars incredibly far. And remember...
TOP TWELVE REASONS TO GIVE TO TRYON LIFE COMMUNITY FARM THIS SEASON
1) The model! TLC's story provides an example of how small groups can successfully do the impossible
2) The animals! Charismatic goats! Sheepish sheep! Curious chickens! Feral children!
3) The sustainability lab! A space for experimentation, to try on new ways of creating a better world
4) The access! A place that anyone can visit to experience how a living, sustainability-oriented community feels
5) Re:Code! Community organizing to change laws to make sustainability legal
6) The cure! TLC Farm provides an antidote to Nature Deficit Disorder
7) The hope! When despair for the world grows too deep, TLC Farm provides tangible experiences of hope
8) The reality! TLC is actually interested in susatainability -- unlike the manufacturers of the world's premium solar powered lawn mower
9) The festivals! Bringing community together with song, sharing and celebration
10) The success! Every year we're here, we're succeeding in preventing McMansions from opening on this land
11) Mother Earth School! Cultivating relationships between children and the joys of nature
