Camphill Village
GROWING ABILITIES
A vibrant community of 150 people, where adults with intellectual disabilities live and work together in a peaceful farm setting.
Since 1964, we have nurtured an inclusive way of life rooted in dignity, meaningful work, and connection to the land. It’s a place where people are supported to grow, contribute, and truly belong.
What began as therapeutic activities has grown into thriving enterprises—our bakery, dairy, natural cosmetics workshop, and farm. Here, meaningful work isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are. Every role matters, and every contribution counts.
