Mandy's Special Farm

Horrible place to work. Also horrible place to take your loved ones. They where good at one point but after being there for 5 years it has really gone down hill. They need to clean house and get new management because the ones that are there are not in it for the right reasons anymore. Btw you and your clients would benefit more if you brought your day hab back.

These people go above and beyond when it comes to the needs of those with disabilities. They do their very best to help those with disabilities gain the opportunity and experience having a job in the real world or at their farm. Their farm also allows for opportunities for those to experience new things.

I volunteered at Mandy's Farm on their annual volunteer day and had such a great experience. They had quite a few different projects to work on: gardening, painting the barn, painting the pool deck, cleaning the gutters, cleaning the house, etc. I decided to work on the garden, and Jeb, the Volunteer Coordinator who is in charge of the garden, gave us all specific jobs. We were helping to prep the garden for planting so  we could till the plots, use the weed wacker or pull weeds, and put compost on the plots. It's was hard work but so rewarding to help a great cause. I really enjoyed volunteering and recommend it to individuals or groups looking to help out in our community!

Horses. Farm fresh eggs. Alpacas, baby goats, a curated garden and peaceful shaded patio, green, green acres. If I'm looking for a term to describe my visits to Mandy's Farm, I'm going with Idyllic. The property is true country livin' and from what I understand, that's exactly what this nonprofit that assists folks with developmental disabilities -- chiefly, those on the autism spectrum -- is going for. What an incredible organization.And when you think about it, of course, simplifying is the solution. Individuals on the spectrum tend, generally, to really struggle with the peripheral, what's going on around them, ambient noise and motion and shadow, and the urban everyday is absolutely clattering with these distractions. Mandy's Farm provides a permanent residence -- it's a home, first and foremost -- for people who need to take shelter from the storm. Residents learn to simply live, whether that's cooking or growing food or riding horses, the main facility includes a specially designed swimming pool for rehabilitation, the farm provides tactile experiences and interactions with nature. How friggin' genius, man. Essentially, the story goes that the farm was named after Mandy, her parents were concerned about what Mandy would do as she matured and they got older, if she might struggle to handle the busy world around her, and so they built this farm, and Mandy started her own little business, E is for Eggs (she loves Sesame Street), and the farm has grown to support many people, a job training program, and produce they sell to local growers markets. You can experience the idyllic by volunteering your time, any time of the year. Just contact them.
