Our Growers tending their flower gardens
There are hundreds of plants and flowers around the Farm along with over 40 vegetable boxes that need our care. We need your help to keep up with all of it.

If you enjoy Gardening, or just getting outdoors on a beautiful day, we need your help. Hope Springs Farm is a wonderland of flowers, plants and vegetable gardens cared for by our Growers. These are adults who have intellectual, developmental disabilities and Autism. They do a good job with their farm chores but as you will see there is a lot to do here at the Farm. It doesn't take much of your time to help out, just stop by for an hour and have some fun while you help. Whether you're a beginner and would like to learn more about Gardening or if you’re a Master Gardener, it doesn't matter; we need help in all areas. Visit our website at www.HopeSpringsFarm.org to learn more about us, or visit our YouTube Channel (Hope Springs Farm) to see some videos of our Farm.

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.
