Everyone Deserves to Live a Life of Meaning

Mission
The mission of Hope Springs Farm is to provide adults with developmental disabilities meaningful work on a farm and joyful group activities that lead to satisfying friendships in a licensed adult day program.

About Hope Springs Farm
Hope Springs Farm is a scenic 17-acre farm located in the quiet countryside of Hershey, Pennsylvania. The farm features a large activity center and program building surrounded by quaint flower beds, a 6,000 square-foot fruit, vegetable and herb garden, a barn, a large chicken house, fenced grazing pastures, wheel-chair accessible paths and plenty of swings and benches to take in the incredible views.

Hope Springs Farm's goal is to provide adults with developmental disabilities or autism a day program to maximize their abilities. Participants, or "Growers," as they are called, are tasked with farm chores, from feeding the animals to weeding the gardens. Growers also learn a variety of home-life skills, such as cooking, baking, cleaning and shopping, and have the opportunity to participate in educational and leisure activities, such as visiting the library, swimming and taking field trips on a regular basis.

Since its inception in 2004, Hope Springs Farm's Growers have developed a sense of pride and feel like an integral part of the community as they watch their contributions blossom and grow.  

Hope Springs Farm is licensed as an adult training facility through the Department of Public Welfare and is part of Community Interactions Inc.
