Join the Community Farm Experience, classes newly offered 5 days a week!
Homesteads for Hope offers classes for adults 18+ seeking to grow their unique ability and purpose in nature’s classroom. Our hands-on approach allows participants to experience all that a real, working agritourism center has to offer. Participants can and will grow their skills and knowledge on the farm and through our enterprise models. This includes learning in the greenhouses, gardens, and fields, training in our store, and learning how to support inclusive community events. New in 2024, we offer an array of experiences making marketable products, and cooking in our teaching kitchen. The goal of our programs is to grow what we CAN do, and stretch our abilities and perspectives of ourselves. Those enrolled in our class sessions are learning skills to increase their independence and confidence in an inclusive and compassionate environment.

Farm Programs!
Our Farm Program classes offer the opportunity for adults to learn new skills and grow in confidence through participation in the daily tasks at the farm. The work of these apprentices contributes to the organic produce for the valuable Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food share program. This includes planting seeds and seedlings, weeding, harvesting, storing, and preparing produce for distribution, as well as the care of our resident farm animals.
In our 55-acre, nature-based classroom, apprentice growth happens in the greenhouses, barns, store, and fields. Some of those who have participated in our Farm Programs have enjoyed the experience so much that they have chosen to become lifelong volunteers on the farm or have gained the knowledge and skills to become Homesteads for Hope employees.
help support a future
where our kitchen stays full of laughter and learning.
