SABOTAGED Family Farm Deliberately Targeted "This Was Intentional."

Ethan and Alexis Lawrence of Lawrence Family Farm in Essex Center Vermont came home from a vacation camping in Maine to find out that their hay harvest had been intentionally targeted in a carefully thought out sabotage attempt.

“It’s just really sad that it was so targeted by somebody who knew what they were doing,” Ethan Lawrence said. “The money doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s it’s the blood, sweat, and tears from me and my wife.”

Ethan 28 and Alexis 29 started their farm during the COVID years and developed a successful family business providing quality meat for their community.
