Full Circle

I want to share something with you that happened at the Farm on Friday. A group of young, recent alumni from the Farm decided to use the community barn for a Halloween dance for the recovering community. They wanted to have some fun with friends on Halloween, but more importantly they wanted to help the Farm and show the current farmers a fun, sober Halloween.

This is what the Farm is all about. People come to the Farm full of pain, fear and despair. We provide a safe place for them to heal and receive the hope, love and support of the recovering community. A short time later, they return as members of the recovering community to help current farmers. As skilled and experienced as our staff are, this cycle of hope, help, love and support is what makes the Farm special and keeps our alumni sober over the years.
