Did you know…

  • Lambs Farm was started by a teacher and a bus driver who wanted to grow their mission of providing those with developmental disabilities with a way to lead productive and fulfilling lives.
  • Lambs Farm begins in 1961 as a Pet Shop on State Street in Chicago. They moved to Libertyville in 1965 when philanthropist W. Clement Stone donated the farm and the Owen Family and donors restored the century-old barn into the area’s largest pet store.
  • Lambs Farm makes a difference in the lives of nearly 250 participants.
  • Lambs Farm is more than an attraction. It is a special place where adults with developmental disabilities can create lives of their own. Where they are safe and empowered to choose the working and living environments suited to them, and where they can learn new skills and hobbies.
  • “Lambs Farm is about helping people and helping people help themselves. It is about self-reliance, hard work, and a nurturing environment, all working together to cultivate human fulfillment.
