Harvest Farm is a 209-acre farm and rehabilitation center
for men, located in Wellington, Colorado, 70 miles north of Denver. The
Farm accommodates up to 72 men who participate in a long-term treatment
program.
Men determined to break cycles of addiction and poverty are referred
to the Farm by detox facilities, social service agencies, and the legal
system. Once there, they find educational, spiritual, and emotional support
to assist their transition into society.
New Life Program
Harvest Farm residents participate in the five-phase New Life Program,
designed to help them gain the skills, stability, and self-esteem necessary
to become productive, self-sufficient members of society. This nationally
recognized rehabilitation program combines academics, Bible study,
work therapy, and spiritual and emotional counseling in a curriculum
extending up to 27 months.
" A lot of people are at the point that if they
just get a chance, they can change. The Mission gave me that chance.
At Harvest Farm, I found
a sense of refuge, direction, and opportunity."
-Dennis
An on-site, computer-enhanced Literacy and Education Center (LEC) allows
men to pursue academic and vocational studies. Relational and life
skill courses such as anger management and budgeting are also offered.
The on-site Harvest Industries job-training program teaches work skills
through employment.
Feeding the Needy
The Farm's cafeteria and outdoor barbeque serve tens of thousands of
meals to residents, staff, and campground and community guests each
year. In addition, the production of farm goods helps supply local
groups and other Mission programs with food for the needy, while providing
work therapy for residents. Farm production includes pinto beans, sugar
beets, silage corn, and produce crops. Livestock includes pigs, cattle,
and sheep.
