Story
Bethphage has been supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs in Shropshire and the Midlands for 30 years.
Purchased in 2024, “Blossom Barns” is a farm-based day opportunity for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism where people can build on existing skills and learn new ones by participating in a range of activities with a focus on horticulture and animal husbandry.
We grow a range of produce including vegetables, salad, flowers and plants and establish a farm shop that will sell our fresh produce, our home-made jams and chutneys. People on the farm also learn craft and carpentry skills, creating products such as bird houses, insect hotels and a variety of homeware gifts.
We play an active role in the local community and surrounding areas and participate in local events; agriculture shows and markets.
Support encompasses aspects of day-to-day life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, education and training, leading healthy lives while developing social skills. Each individual sets their own goals to work towards and are part of an inclusive culture that upskills people by encouraging continuous learning and development.
The site comprises of a farmhouse, 12 acres of land including a range of farm-out buildings.
