WELCOME TO HOPE SPRINGS FARM
The mission of Hope Springs Farm is to provide adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as autism a meaningful day through joyful group activities within the community and on a family farm setting that lead to satisfying friendships.

Our Farm Program is Reopened as of March 22, 2021



​The Covid-19 positivity rate in Dauphin County  is currently rated as "Moderate",  so our Farm program is open to Growers as of March 22, 2021. If the community spread rises to a substantial level (over 10%) we will close temporarily. We will reopen after two specific milestones are reached: 1) 14 days, and 2) two weeks of moderate community spread levels at 10% or less. These numbers are posted every Friday afternoon at the COVID-19 Early Warning Monitor System Dashboard (see blue boxes below). At this site you can view all the counties and even different indicators. We are administered by Dauphin County so that is the only county that will trigger a response for us. We plan to reopen our community program once we hire and train new staff members to replace those we have lost over our most recent shutdown.

Check out our Weekly Virtual Zoom Parties
All are welcome to check out our weekly Farm Zoom Parties. They will continue through on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:00 PM. For the next few weeks, we are cutting back to two days a week but we hope to return to three days a week as soon as we can! Zoom Parties are a great way for us to stay connected with our Growers and community during this time. During the parties we show what is going on at the Farm, complete crafts and cooking activities, and more! Some activities we completed during March include Copycat McDonalds Shamrock Shakes and Fingerprint Easter Egg Cards.

Be a part of our "SHARING HOPE" Community Activities Program
SHARING HOPE is a great way to double your giving impact in the local community.  We ask donors to give to their favorite charity or organization through us.  Read the FLYER  or the rack card for more information.
For example when someone donates $100 they can request we help the places like the Ronald McDonald House or some other local organizations and we make contact with the organization and find out what materials or supplies they need.  The Growers go out and buy the items on their wish list and deliver them to the organization that day. 
This is why we called it SHARING HOPE, donors get to give to their favorite charity and they also SHARE their donation with the Growers in the form of a full day of community volunteer work for our Growers. Our Growers love to do this kind of volunteer work and it gives them a sense that the community needs them and they are valued.
