Leann


Hello friends! I'm Leann, the founder of Bridges of Hope Farm.

As a mother of a special needs child, I've personally experienced the feelings of isolation and exclusion that many families face.

This inspired me to create a community where both children and adults with special needs can feel safe, accepted, and truly be themselves.

At Bridges of Hope Farm, we offer a sensory-friendly environment where individuals can connect with animals, engage in hands-on activities, and build lasting relationships.

Our mission is to bridge the gap of isolation by fostering a supportive community for all ages.
