We Need Your Support
There are many ways you can help preserve Maybury Farm.
Cash Donation
We receive no tax dollars for the support of Maybury
Farm. Your donations keep Maybury Farm open! Checks
may be mailed to Maybury Farm, care of Northville Community
Foundation, at 18600 Northville Road, Suite 275, Northville,
Michigan 48168. Please note “Maybury Farm” in the memo
section of your check. Donations by credit card may be
made by calling our office at (248) 374-0200. “Two Bit’
Campaign
Maintaining Maybury Farm has many, many
expenses and in an effort to help with the bills and yet
offer everyone the opportunity to help we began the “Give
Two Bits for Maybury Farm” campaign. We want to
collect as many quarters as possible from our friends in
southeast Michigan.
Our friends at Fifth Third Bank thought that was a pretty
good idea and offered all of their southeast Michigan locations as drop off points for
your quarters. What do you need to do? Just go into
your nearest Fifth Third Bank and say that you want to
donate to the Northville Community Foundation – Maybury
Farm. They have the account all set up and are waiting for
you to stop in. What will the money be used for?
Animals, feed, operations, animal care, building upkeep and
repair, building additional shelters for the animals,
restrooms for our guests, and the list goes on and on.
Adoption
Available
If you would like to adopt one of the animals, cows,
pigs, horses, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, sheep, or
goats, please contact us at (248) 374-0200 for an adoption
brochure. You can adopt an animal for one year and
even name the animal. Adoption papers are sent to you.
The Adoption Program helps with the cost of feed for the
animals.

 Goods/Services Needed
Roofers and Roofing Materials Needed -
The roof on the equipment shed and Welcome Center are in
need of replacement. We are not looking for the fancy
stuff just regular roofing on both buildings. If you
can donate roofing, would like to tear the old roofing down,
or would like to re-roof the buildings, please let us know.
Hopefully we can get this accomplished between now and next
Spring. Many thanks for your generosity, please call
(248)374-0200. Volunteer
We have many opportunities for volunteers at Maybury
Farm. If you have an interest in one, please contact us at

Beautifying Maybury Farm
Beginning in the Spring and running through the summer we
off “Beautification” opportunities at the Farm. They
include:
- Flowers - Donations of $50 will be used for the
planting of flowers at the entrance of Maybury Farm and
on the patio.
- Paver Stones - If you have visited Maybury Farm you
have noticed the beautiful patio that was built for us
by Global Gardens. The pavers used were used
specifically so people could donate to the farm by
purchasing a paver. Pavers come in two sizes;
small 6”x 8” (donation - $250 and have a 2 line 15
character limit per line) and 12”x12” (donation $350 and
have a 3 line 20 character limit per line). These
pavers make wonderful birthday, anniversary, memorial,
or just-because gifts.
- Picnic Table Donors -
As Maybury Farm increases in its programming we have more
and more need for picnic tables. If you would like to
sponsor a picnic table for a $1,500 donation a plaque will
be placed on the table with your desired inscription
(limited to 12 characters and spaces 3 lines).
- Buy A Board - Maybury Farm is continually in need of lumber. It is used to
replace boards, build pastures, build lean-to’s, repair
pens, repair wagons, rebuild wagons, etc. We would also like
to add an addition to our Welcome Center. Your donation of $250 for boards will greatly help with all
of the above items. Your family name will also be placed on
a plaque that will hang permanently at Maybury Farm. A great
GIFT idea!
