FARM POLICIES
Donations
Stocker Farms loves being a part of this community, and we feel blessed by the support we have received over all these years, so thank you to all those who have supported us by being a part of our farm family. If you are seeking a raffle prize or similar donation, we may be able to provide passes that would suit your needs.
We are happy to be able to donate to many of the causes brought before us, but unfortunately, we are unable to meet every need due to the high volume of donation requests. You may submit a request at any time, however, the request must be received at least 15 days prior to the date it is needed. (Requests received after September 15th will be held until November 15th for review, as this is our busiest season). If you do not receive a response within 5 days of submission that means we will not be able to fulfill your request. Past support of an organization does not ensure future support. Please, do not show up and ask for donations.
To submit your request please send an email or letter on your organization's official letterhead (no phone calls please) that provides the following:
Description of organization
Specifics of whom the event will benefit
Date and name of event
Name, phone number and email of contact person
