Concrete Repair
Safety | Accessibility
As one of the most high-traffic areas on the property, this concrete is the bridge between our parking lot and the farm. For adults with I/DD who use walkers, canes, and wheelchairs, it’s important that this concrete is flat and smooth so they can participate in all the activities and events inside the lodge.

Trail Renovations
Health | Exercise
Large potholes, loose chunks of gravel, and uneven surfaces have made Midnight Farm’s half-mile nature trail hazardous and unusable — not only for walking, but vehicles as well. It’s easy for many of us to walk our dogs on the sidewalk, but in the city, many resident don’t have the same luxury. Read More.

Why Residents Thrive At Midnight Farm
Humans are naturally caring individuals, so it’s no surprise that adults with I/DD often receive lifelong support. Yet, many adults with I/DD desperately want to help and give back, but lack the opportunity. Midnight Farm gives adults with I/DD the chance to experience the joy of giving care by nurture plants and animals among other fun and relaxing games and activities
