About Us

Ethan and Laura currently serve closely with youth as youth pastors, carrying a deep burden and hope for the next generation. Many years ago, God placed a vision on their hearts for a foster home after Ethan heard the heartbreaking news of a mother who harmed her children and herself because she felt completely alone. 

That moment planted a seed that would grow into something much greater. Since then, God has continued to speak, guide, and breathe life into this vision, 

providing direction and purpose for what is now known as Found Farm.

Found Farm was born out of a God-given burden for youth in foster care who have never experienced the love and stability of a family. Many age out of the system with nowhere to call home—no Christmas mornings with mom and dad and no Thanksgiving around the table with loved ones. Without the support and guidance every young person deserves, many face overwhelming challenges as they step into adulthood. Found Farm exists to provide the stability, mentorship, and life skills they need to build a strong and hopeful future.

In Tennessee alone, more than 800 youth age out of foster care every year. 

Research shows that without strong support systems, up to 80% of these young adults will face 

homelessness, addiction, or incarceration within just three years. 

Found Farm exists to change that trajectory by providing stable housing, mentorship, and life-skills training 

so these teens can step into adulthood with confidence and support.
