Our Community

Focusing on joy and capability not disability

Plowshare Farm is a lifesharing community in Greenfield, New Hampshire where all people, be they developmentally disabled or otherwise mentally, physically, or emotionally challenged, are able to unfold their lives to the fullest potential. An extended family environment enables our residents to lead purposeful and rewarding lives while being supported through their challenges. They receive training and support in developing vocational and life skills, socially appropriate behavior, and effective methods of communication. The unique gifts of each individual are nurtured, and deep, caring, and lasting relationships are able to be formed.

Plowshare Farm is a small, thriving community where lives are shared, where nourishing the land in turn nourishes the individual who is tending that land, and where animal care creates the potential for people who are usually the care receivers to become the care givers. The pace of life is slower here to be all inclusive, and people of all abilities can find meaningful work and self-respect.
