The Homestead Project

The Homestead Project at Jacobs Family Homestead, LLC is a hands-on educational and skill building program with a holistic, ecological and ethical approach to a tapestry of home life, work, nature, food and art, for children and adults with special needs, giving them the pathway to connect with nature and community.

Our mission is to create and maintain a working homestead together, allowing consumers to enroll in a personalized day program, respite, or residency program. 

We are an active homestead with a variety of opportunities to develop new talents and pursue vocations.  Daily participation in the gardens or coop, property management, the craft studio, or in homemaking, helps individuals develop skills and provides purpose and accomplishment. Stay tuned as we explore sharing the fruits of our labor by opening The Farm Stand!  

Additionally, we enjoy an abundance of cultural opportunities that encourage the discovery and development of talents, capabilities and interests. We volunteer within our community, actively engage in shopping locally, and enjoy local venues, attractions and events. 

The Homestead 

Our supportive home serves children and adults with special needs within our Respite or Residency Program.
