Father Bud's Boys Farm was a rural foster home located on a farm in Monteagle, Tennessee, owned and operated by the ordained Episcopal priest [[Cladius Vermilye]], known by the alias Father Bud. Juvenile delinquents were sent to the farm by youth corrections and welfare agencies in Tennessee. Boys at the farm were supplied with drugs and alcohol to make them pliant for participation in orgies, which were filmed and photographed. Materials were distributed to a mailing list of sponsors who could pay additional fees to arrange personal visits to the farm for direct access to the boys. Film stocks were mailed from the farm to [[Gerald Richards]] in Michigan for development and distribution through networks including MAIL-O-MATIC in [[North Carolina]] and F&S Distributors in California.[^1]

The farm was incorporated under [[The Church of New Revelation]] in [[New Jersey]], described by authorities as a sham referral agency for pornography distribution rather than a legitimate church. [[Francis Shelden]] appeared on a seized list of sponsors for the farm's materials. The farm was raided by authorities on November 10, 1976, and the Detroit Free Press reported it as a national pornography hub the following day. The raid linked the farm to the broader network including the [[Delta Project]], [[Odyssey Network]], and [[North Fox Island]] operations.[^1]

### Connections to Broader Networks
An FBI memo from February 1977 confirmed the [[Delta Project]] connection to Troop 137 in New Orleans and noted that Norman's conviction in December 1976 ended an ongoing investigation into the Delta Project, which had continued to operate under [[Phillip Paske]]. A letter sent by [[Cladius Vermilye]] to Halvorsen personally inviting him to visit [[Father Bud's Boys Farm]] in Tennessee established the link between Troop 137 and the wider interlinked network of operations. Don Berlage, a district attorney in Charlevoix County, Michigan, was also connected to the case through the broader network.[^1]
