Community Update: August 2026

To our Faith Hill Farm community,

We wanted to share a brief update on our legal challenge regarding the approval of the Ridgeline Estates development.

Our lawsuit remains pending, and we are currently awaiting a decision, which we expect to receive sometime this August.

Faith Hill Farm and Faith Hill Farm Foundation has been a proud member of the East Greenwich community for many years, providing essential equine-assisted services to some of our region's most vulnerable individuals and families. Throughout this process, our commitment to our clients, horses, staff, and mission has never wavered. Despite the significant financial and operational challenges this legal battle has created, we remain dedicated to serving our community every day.

Our legal challenge stems from the approval of a major residential development immediately adjacent to our farm. The impacts of extensive site work - including clear-cutting, rock blasting, heavy construction, and ongoing activity just feet from our barns and therapy spaces - will fundamentally affect our Foundation's ability to safely provide therapeutic services and operate our small family-run farm. This case represents a broader effort to preserve open space, protect agricultural land, and safeguard the unique rural character of East Greenwich.

We are deeply grateful for the incredible outpouring of encouragement, advocacy, and support we have received. Your kindness has sustained us during this difficult journey and reminds us how much this farm means to so many people.

As we await the court's decision, legal expenses continue to place a significant strain on our organization. If you would like to support our efforts to protect Faith Hill Farm / Faith Hill Farm Foundation and ensure we can continue serving our community, please consider making a donation to our GoFundMe campaign. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue this important work.

No matter the outcome, our commitment remains unchanged. We will continue to advocate for the people, horses, non-profit partners and community that make Faith Hill Farm so special, and we will remain steadfast in our Foundation's mission to provide hope, healing, and opportunity through the human-horse connection.

Thank you for standing with Faith Hill Farm. We will continue to share updates as they become available.

With gratitude,

Pamela Steere Maloof
The Faith Hill Farm Family
