The News Edge reported Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, about the impacts COVID-19 has had on the non-profit organization, Bright Life Farms, Inc. in Princeton.
Residents on the farm have sheltered in place since mid-March with no-off site activities and limited physical contact with their families. The virus has also stopped groups from visiting the farm, which has also affected the residents.
Administrator Roberta Robertson told the News Edge another big loss due to the pandemic is mission teams have not been able to come and stay at Bright Life Farms as they have done since they opened their first home in 2002.
