Deep Dirt Farm Institute LLCm Kate Tirion, Richard Connolly SCAM !!!! Not a real farm! Profitble Scam for Kate Tirion and Richard Connolly Patagonia Arizona
DEEP DIRT FARM INSTITUTE LLC, owned by Kate Tirion, is not a legitimate farm. It is an organic playground for Kate Tirion and Richard Connolly to capitalizd and profit from. At best it is a collection of Kate Tirion's unfinished projects and produces nothing commercially and benefits no one except the bank accounts of Kate Tirion and Richard Connolly. A legitamite farm in the area is (((REDACTED))) in Tumacocori, AZ , which produces organic foods, herbal teas, body care products and hosts Earth Harmony Festivals, community programs and educartional classes for free. I am not associated with (((REDACTQED)))in any way; however I wish to inform the public that the costs and charges at Deep Dirt Farm are exorbitant and a fraudelent scam!

On the evening of May 22nd 2017 a Town of Patagoina Marshall spoke with the "author" of this report, Dave Hoeffner, of Tyler, Texas. Mr Hoeffner was asked if he wrote the report attributed to him. Mr Hoeffner replied adamantly that he did not. He is also aware who did.
We are currently working with the court system in dealing with the real author of at least two of these reports for personal and preofessional harassment. She is psycholgically disturbed, has extreme anger issues, is prone to violence and violent outbursts. This complainant is a very able and consumate liar who has no compunction perjuring herself. Thus wiritng as an anonymous complainant or as a third party is consistent with her other actions for which she she has pled guilty within the courts.
We would appreciate your organization demonstating responsibility before you post any more of these untruths. If you need to verify my statements please request case fie numbers and we will be gald to provide them. Continuing to post such reports without researching the veracity of the rebuttal makes you complicit in the actions aimed at myself, Richard Connolly and Deep Dirt Farm Institute.

Are you unaware that the person you are slandering in your rebuttal is a kindergarten teacher? I have been her friend since she lived in Patagonia, over 30 years ago. She lives near me now and we have lunches together. I knew her and your husband Richard well, and my husband and I visited them often. This woman you debase has held a clean criminal background card for the last thirty years. and has a clean criminal record for her entire lifetime and she would never been allowed to teach public elementary school, or retire and substitute teach. She has never even owned a gun, nor does she have any practice shooting one at all. You and your source of information are incorrect . If you want to promote your business I suggest you don't slander a person you have never met. Your hatred and negativity are not drawing people to The Farm. I worked in town as professional artist during Richard's drunken violent period and he was very abusive to his former wife, his children and some others. He was very fast to threaten violence. He owned several guns and has threatened others with them. He is recovered now so that is in the past but you should not be so quick to judge another who suffered severely under his abuse! I cannot believe the things you are writing about my dear friend! I bet the money you are saying she asked for was the Child Support for the two chlldren he neglected. She had a newborn and toddler she raised with no help from him. I believe Child Support Services went after it an have a judgement against him for some huge six digit amount. I have never been to your farm, because my own yard is much more convenient. I would however seriously question donating money to a farm being run by a woman who is so negative, judgmental and thinks she is qualified to psychoanalyze another human being whom she has never met. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You need to rethink your post about my former wife of 22 years. She did not place your negative review. Do you really think no one visits your farm and is disatisfied with the experience? In the large world of organic self sustaining farming your small farm is very small and insignificant. But in regard to your rebuttal posting: I have had quite enough of you lying aboout my former wife and I, lying to our daughter, and your falsified and fabricated litigatiion; as well as your spreading falsehoods about my former wife and my parenting. I was married to my former wife for 23 years and she was a wonderful loving mother and a very responsible human being and parent. You are no doubt getting your information from your severely drug addled, demented, lying alcoholic husband. Your post is legally slander of my fomer wife, who taught elementary school as a kindergarten teacher school for 31 years steadily until retirement, She was rated Clearly Outstanding by her administrators and peer teachers. Presently she substitute teaches and is still in good standing. She holds a current clean State issued Criminal Clearence Card and has held one for the last 31 years. That criminal clearance card is still valid today. She holds two University Degress, a BA, and MA, and she worked herself to death nights and summers getting those degrees while working and raising your husband's two children with no help from him either monetarily or physically. I notice you hold no University Degrees, but think you are a psychoanalyst rather than only a farm girl. My former wife has never owned a weapon, discharged a weapon, nor had any charges involving a weapon. She would not have been allowed to teach elementary school for 31 years, been Teacher of the Year numerous times, or retire with Honors with the Dallas Independent School District. Nor would she be allowed to substitute teach today if what you say were true., if she had any of the psychological problems you have invented in your uneducated head and then lied venomously about her having, she would not have a Criminal Clearance Card. She has NEVER been physically violent with anyone, nor arrested or accused of any kind of violence toward anyone, including you. Your husband, Richard Connolly did not pay his child support for 18 years, My former wife and I raised his kids for him and paid for everything including their weddings and or their two university degrees. I am still paying their student loans for them! Richard Connolly never once visited them, never sent cards or letters, never paid any child support or showed them any love or attention. He even neglected his own son when he moved into your little town to get to know him. You were very rude to him as well. You shunned him, Richard went so far as to insult him. Richard Connolly never even sent him even a birthday or Christmas card. Richard's emotional and financial neglect has affected the quality of both children's upbringing and especially their emotional health. Richard Connolly was the offfical town drunk of Patagonia, AZ for a two decades. Then he met you and wanted your money and roof over his head more than he wanted alcohol. I guess he was tired of passing out drunk in his travel trailer. He failed in patient rehab 5 times in his life and had quite a lengthy criminal record from 1970 -1990.. Twice he was legally forced by the court to attend inpatient rehab for alcoholism and substance. First by the State of Montana and earlier the State of Arizona. Now you beg for money donations and from my step daughter and from the public to keep his and your habits satisfied, despite their being plenty of money in the Tirion Trust. The psychological problems you attribute to my former wide might be better used to describe your and your husband who is known to be a pathological liar by many in your small town. That is why our son moved. To this day Richard still owes me and my former wife tons of work, sweat, and worry raising those two children as well as $39,000.00 in back child support. There is a judgement against him by Arizona Child Support Services, recorded in 2001 He was arrested for assault of my former wife, duriing their brief 3 year marriage on numerous occassions. She was a young girl only 18 years of age when she married him and he hid his alcohol and substance abuse problems from her. He had already been in drug rehabilitation twice at the Arizona Awareness House in Tucson. She was just 19 and he 29 years old when he tried to cut her throat with his hunting knife which was held so hard against her juggler that she began to pass out. Then he threatened to kill his 2 year old son and 3 month old daughter. Then stabbed his knife into the wall, grabbed 22 caliber hand gun and shot holes in their home, nearly missing his infant and child and killing their pet cat. Due to his violent behavior he was not given any custody rights at all to see his at all children. He was given the same child support obligations as convicts of that time, which was $75.00 per child per month. I am witness to the fact that he couldn't even pay that. He sure could afford drugs and booze enough get plenty of DUI's. I begged Richard Connolly for help with his so once over the phone, during his son's turbulent teenage years and he laughed at me. Do not slander my former wife or me anymore with our children or on the internet. We loved and provided limitlessly for those two children and we both still love them deeply today. Do not file anymore of your frivilous litigation as it will be quashed as your last was. You are taking your alcohol and drug addled husband's word for truth and it is making you look extremely ignorant and foolish! Wake up! You married a dead beat father and an abusive drunkard! Most of Patagonia and Sonoita know this to be fact.

Complaint #1345297
To whom it may concern,
It appears that you are being used!
Today I found this “complaint from a disgruntled donor”. She is NOT a donor and thus began the ‘complaint’ by lying.
She is not a resident of Tucson, rather is a resident of Rio Rico, AZ. Again another lie.
The person who posted this ‘complaint’ is an ex-wife of some 30 years who periodically - sometimes years, sometimes months - gets wound up and slanders/ harasses/ threatens myself, Kate Tirion, or Richard Connolly.
She attempts to extort money, most recently in January, demanding $17,000 from me.
She is a wounded human who is known to be violent (guns were removed from her home within the last two years due to domestic violence issues- hers).
She exhibits sociopathic tendencies, she may be suffering from a clinically diagnosable disorder. These behaviors have been exhibited over the course of her adult life.
We have had a restraining order in place for many months and this will become a permanent order because she is a threat to us in multiple ways, including potential violence.
Deep Dirt Farm Institute (DDFI)
Both myself and Richard Connolly have been long term (45 and and 26 years respectively) residents of this town of 900 people, too small to hide wrong doing for long!.
I gave 10.5 years of volunteer time to the initiation, creation, development and on-going success of the Community Garden and orchard. This was done initially with no funding and then on a shoe-string budget. I was never paid for this work - it was a gift to the community that underscores my work in building resilience.
We are well know and respected here and have been supported by a significant percentage of the residents here in numerous ways.
As part of our on-going community building interests a broad cross section of this, and the wider community, have participated in the creation of DDFI - by showing up and helping to build projects, by donating materials and by making cash donations. The community has a sense of ownership in our project though their engagement.
We are open for tours on a regular basis as we serve as a demonstration site for arid lands restoration and the integration of human and wildlife habitat. We have a very open system for all to see. We host individuals and agencies, professors and schoolchildren and others interested in learning about these critical issues.
We have been supported in our work by the National Fish and Wildlife service (wildlife habitat development).
We have been funded by the Bureau of Land Management to grow native seeds for habitat restoration.
The US Geological Survey published a peer reviewed scientific paper this month (February) regarding the pioneering work we are doing at DDFI. I am cited in that paper.
We have been partnering with a sister organization of Free the Children (Toronto) for over 9 years and offer youth programming on a regular basis, over 2,500 youth have participated in programs at our institute.
The entity in Tumacacori that was held by your complainant as an opposing entity are friends and professional colleagues. Last fall I was the keynote speaker at their Earth Harmony Festival, not an invitation that would be extended to the kind of people described by your complainant.
Therefore, while you may be providing a service for authentic claims and wrong doing this is not one of them. Please remove this falsehood from your site
Sincerely,
