Our Current Program
Special Dreams Farm is open to adults with developmental disabilities Monday through Friday. Our Special adults, we call them farmers, are assigned jobs when they arrive with their job coach. Jobs may include work in the garden, greenhouse, or woodworking building, grass cutting and trimming, painting or general farm maintenance. Some of our Special Dreams Farm ladies may work in our cooking program located in the farm house learning to bake, following recipes, and learning many fun kitchen skills. Many of our male farmers are learning how to build a picket fence for the front of the farm by placing precut wood in a fixture, pre-drilling and nailing all the pieces together to form an 8 foot section of fence. Prime and finish painting of each section then follows.
Program Director Cheryl Beauchamp places the farmers where their interest and capabilities allow while still challenging the farmers to learn new skills. She does a great job finding meaningful work for everyone while maintaining a safe environment.
We have found that so many of our farmers can do work that no one figured they could do, because they were not given a chance before. Not only can they do so much more, but they are doing it better and getting stronger every day, and having fun doing it.
