Race For Life Rescue
Race for Life Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides air transportation for animals in life-threatening situations. Not only ensuring they survive, but thrive.
Founded in 2021, Race for Life Rescue is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide air transport for animals, rescuing them from overcrowded shelters where they face euthanasia, areas affected by natural disaster, and unhealthy living environments to adoption centers where they can find safe, loving homes.
Our goal is to work with our pilots, donors, partners, and volunteers to help save the lives of as many animals as possible. Without us, their fate is uncertain, and an unnecessary tragedy. Together, we can change the statistics.

Living Roots Farm & Organic Farm School
Living Roots Farm and Organic Farm School is both a market farm and educational farm. Every year we produce about 100,000 lbs of produce on 5 acres, and about 25,000 lbs of Pastured Pork and Grass-Fed Beef, and 40,000 Free Range Eggs on the rest of the 75 acre farm.
We have educated hundreds of apprentices over the past 15 years, giving them not only farm training, but also education in homesteading, sustainable living, cooking and food processing, healing arts, and natural building. Michael will be working with Chef Chip to source as much local, sustainable ingredients as he can find in May in Indiana.
