Farmsteads empowers adults with developmental disabilities to live meaningful and satisfying lives by providing exceptional residential and community services in inclusive farm communities.. Opened in 2003, Farmsteads of New England. Inc. (Farmsteads) provides supportive day and residential services in a farm environment to adults who have developmental disabilities. We are dedicated to empowering individuals who have autism, developmental disabilities, and others with varying abilities to pursue their chosen path to live a meaningful and satisfying life by providing transitional and long-term supports and services in a rural environment that fosters growth, interdependence and self-confidence. Each residential farmer has his/her own one-bedroom apartment which gives individuals maximum privacy and more of an adult lifestyle while also providing easy access to peers for socialization.
