Animals play a special role at Hope Springs Farm. Through daily interactions with our farm animals, Growers experience comfort, connection, and a sense of responsibility in a calm, nurturing environment. Caring for animals encourages empathy, builds confidence, and supports emotional well-being while providing meaningful opportunities for routine and purpose.

​On the Farm, Growers tend to alpacas, goats, pigs, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, miniature horses, chickens and ducks. Daily chores include feeding, watering, and socializing with the animals, as well as mucking out stalls and keeping the run-in sheds clean.
