The first Lost & Found Homestead Farms community is being established in Waldron, Michigan, within Wright Township, Hillsdale County. We have green lights, support and are working in direct connection with Hillsdale Co Health Dept, State of Michigan Department of Agricultural and Rural Development.
This rural setting offers the land, quiet, and agricultural foundation necessary to build a permanent homestead community for veterans—while remaining closely connected to surrounding towns, regional partners, and local support networks.
By supporting this location, founding donors and partners help establish the very first homestead site—setting the standard, culture, and framework for future communities to follow.
Lost & Found Homestead Farms is being built from the ground up—and the people who step forward now will forever be part of its foundation. This is the stage where vision becomes land, plans become homes, and intention becomes impact.
Founding donors and partners are not simply supporting a program. They are helping establish a model for veteran independence that is designed to last, grow, and be replicated nationwide.
Why Founding Support Matters
Lost & Found Homestead Farms is currently in the formation and development phase. Early support is focused on:
Founding contributions make it possible to move from planning to permanent impact. This stage is critical—decisions made now shape the culture, scale, and success of the homestead for decades to come.
Founding donors play a unique role in launching the first homestead community. These early supporters help establish:
Founding donors are recognized not only for what they give—but for what they help create.
As Lost & Found Homestead Farms grows, founding supporters are acknowledged as the individuals and organizations that helped establish the original model—creating a legacy that extends beyond a single location.
We are actively building mission-aligned partnerships that contribute knowledge, resources, and opportunity. These partnerships allow veterans to gain real-world experience while strengthening the sustainability of the homestead.
