The leaves have started to change and autumn is upon us. It's been another busy summer at the Farm. We had two litters of piglets, the biggest garden we've ever grown and our most successful Jamboree ever.

Most important, with your help, we're helping more people than ever. So far this year, nearly 1,700 people have sought recovery at Dawn Farm.

You make this possible. Thank you for your support! 

The autumn Dawn Farm Barn Sale is SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18 from 9:00-4:00pm at the Farm. 

We have furniture, knick-knacks, holiday decorations, televisions, entertainment centers, kid's stuff, lamps, kitchen accessories, and much, much more!!  The Dawn Farm Gift Shop will also be open, and you can pick up a dozen fresh eggs before you leave.

Stop by to check it out, and bring your family, friends, and everyone you know!  We are using the Community Barn this year, so don't let rain keep you away!
