About Us

We’re glad you’re here.

Welcome to Lambs Farm! We’ve been a strong part of the community for over 60 years, and we’re still welcoming guests and participants every single day. Not only do we provide an ever-growing array of services that offer people with disabilities the power to choose, but we also provide a place for families to come and enjoy life on our Farm. And yes, we do have an actual farmyard. But we also have so much more!

Where People Grow

Our Programs

What We Do Best

We continue to live out our mission by helping people with developmental disabilities lead productive, happy lives by connecting with the human spirit in all of us. Our programs are designed to be a foundation on which participants and families can build a life full of opportunities by making friends, being productive, contributing to their communities, and so much more.

Living Programs

Our residential programs provide a nurturing environment for our participants, while also fostering self-reliance in day-to-day tasks. Through our variety of housing options on our campus and within our community, we are uniquely equipped to meet each individual’s needs.

Working Programs

With a legacy that started at a small pet shop in 1961, Lambs Farm has continued to grow its employment opportunities to provide meaningful work experiences both on our campus and in the community. Our employment specialists support staff and participants by finding employment that suites both their skills and interests, with training to match. This allows our participants and community to flourish with positive impact!

Learning Programs

We believe in living life and having fun, which is why we’ve developed and continue to invest in providing a wide variety of activities such as sports, art, music, and other hobbies for our participants to enjoy during each day and encourage participation in interest groups to build relationships and to help every person grow.

Lambs Industries

We proudly offer high-quality, full-production services for a variety of light industrial projects. Participants work to complete hand assembly, packaging, sealing, or sorting work with fast turnaround times and continuous quality control checks, guaranteed.
