Staff Resignation

Dear Friends, Supporters and Partners, 

After two years of leading the efforts of Horseshoe Bay Farms to further its mission of preservation, rehabilitation, and activation of the 105-year-old property, Drew Richmond has announced that he will be departing from his role of Executive Director on October 31, 2022.  During Drew’s tenure, Horseshoe Bay Farms has: 

- Welcomed more than 4,500 visitors to the property 

- Re-connected with past farm families, collected detailed histories, and preserved their stories 

- Worked beside over 70 volunteers to implement every aspect of the operation 

- Inspired those who visited to donate funds that support our mission and goals 

- Commissioned and built a one-of-a-kind environmental sculpture by an internationally recognized artist 

- Renovated and refurbished two original farm structures critical to its operations 

- Prepared and maintained barns, buildings, gardens, and grounds for tours and visitors  

- Established and developed policies, systems, and tools to run a growing nonprofit organization 

We are confident that this will be a smooth transition for our supporters, partners, and volunteers.  Over the coming months, we will be considering the future composition of the Horseshoe Bay Farm team.  Stay tuned! 

We thank Drew for his commitment, knowledge, and passion he has given Horseshoe Bay Farms and hope for his continued success in his career as a nonprofit leader. 

Sincerely, 

The HSBF Board of Directors
