At Quest Farm, we believe it is important for people to have their own identity. It gives people a sense of self-worth and helps them become independent and productive members of society. The men and women of Quest Farm have the title of "farmers." This identity lets the farmers recognize their worth, dignity, and importance in the community in which they live. The ages range from 30 - 70 years old. Each farmer lives in one of the three houses with a set of House Managers. We believe this loving, family-like atmosphere encourages individuals to strive to reach their full potential.

| The farmers raise several thousand bedding plants every year in four large greenhouses. There is something rewarding about planting a seed and watching it grow and develop into a beautiful flower. It builds a sense of pride and self-worth. They also raise about two acres of asparagus, an acre of cabbage, an acre of green bell peppers, a half acre of strawberries, and many other fruits and vegetables. In the fall and winter, about 2,000 mums, several thousand pansies, and a greenhouse full of hydroponic tomatoes are raised. Quest Farm is a busy and productive place. |

Along with the many work activities, the farmers participate in bowling, swimming, track and field, trips to the library, fishing, vacations, church, eating out, quarterly birthday parties, Special Olympics, and other social events. We believe it is important for the farmers to be a part of the community. It is this well-rounded life style that allows the farmers to gain a sense of self-worth and independence, and become productive members of the community in which they live.
