Homesteads for Hope

Where Community, Inclusion, and Farm Life Grow Together

Welcome to the farm.

At Homesteads for Hope, we believe community grows best when everyone has a place in it. Open for all, with perks for sustaining members.

On our 55-acre farm, people of all abilities come together to learn, work, and experience the rhythms of farm life- along side visitors, families, and neighbors.

From community classes and seasonal events, to our farm store, flower upick, work-based learning opportunities and more - this is a place to gather, grow, and belong. Learn more about us in our story.

  • "A terrific organization with a very clear mission - and passionate, dedicated staff who are working tirelessly to develop programs and services that center on fostering independence, specialized skills development, and socialization opportunities for folks with developmental disabilities. Beyond this essential aim, there are opportunities abound to explore a working farm, with recreational and other special events throughout the year. As a musical performer for their Harvest BBQs and Fundraising Gala, I have enjoyed not only the beauty of this location, but surely the spirit and sense of community evident with those participating in the activities. Kudos to Jenny and the team at H4H!"
