Stay Connected to the Farm

Homesteads for Hope memberships are designed to invite individuals and families to be part of a vibrant, welcoming community centered around nature, learning, and connection.

Memberships are open to the public and support participation in inclusive social and community experiences throughout the year. Members are welcomed into seasonal events, hands-on activities, and informal moments on the farm that encourage curiosity, relationship-building, and connection to the outdoors. Whether attending an event, joining a community gathering, or participating in a workshop or volunteer opportunity, membership offers a meaningful way to engage with the farm and the people who make it thrive.

With a Sustaining Membership, members have access to our farm grounds (including fishing areas) during store hours. Just grab a lanyard for entry and return it to the store when you’re done. Those without a Sustaining Membership must purchase a grounds pass, or fishing pass, from the farm store.
