Shining Hope Farms

Raise money for Shining Hope Farms

Shining Hope Farms was founded in 2002 by Paul and Milinda Kirkpatrick in response to the needs in the community to provide therapeutic services in an enriching farm environment. The purpose of the farms’ services is to improve the quality of life of the participants as well as their families. Shining Hope Farms’ programs have been structured to serve individuals and groups with a variety of disabilities such as cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, brain injuries, hypotonia, and the like through our clinical offerings of PT, OT, and Speech. Other services include Therapeutic Riding offerings that serve children and adults with special needs; and our Saddles & Salutes Program. What began as a program to help Veterans is now growing to include 1st Responders, Law Enforcement, and beyond. We are honored to serve the men and women who have served us, taken care of us, and given us our freedoms.

Our clients find wellness, strength, and hope on the back of a horse.
