If you have a Church group, Civic club, or even an office group that wants to give back their time to a local non-profit program, then we are the Farm for you.
Hope Springs Farm is a non-profit day program serving local adults who have Intellectual Developmental Dissabilities and Autism. During their day here they work ofn the flower and vegatable gardens, care for their animals and take care of the grounds. On this 17 acre Farm that's a lot of work, so we need your help to keep things looking great.
Get your group together, or just yourself, and pick a weekday or weekend date to come out and pitch in for this wonderful program that is changing the lives of so many local adults and their families.

Mission Statement
The mission of Hope Springs Farm is to provide adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities a meaningful day through joyful group activities that lead to satisfying friendships.
Description
Hope Springs Farm's goal is to provide adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities a day program to maximize their abilities. Participants, or "Growers," as they are called, participate in community activities such as educational, civic and leisure activities, like visiting local museums, libraries, swimming, taking field trips, and volunteering in the community. On the Farm our Growers are tasked with farm chores, from feeding the animals to weeding the gardens. They also learn a variety of home-life skills, such as cooking, baking, cleaning, and shopping.
