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.
