Our Vision
Mandy’s Farm has embraced a vision for the future focused on seven areas that directly impact quality of life for adults with disabilities:
Daily Living
Adults with disabilities exert full control over where they live, where they work, and who they spend time with.
Community Access
Diverse needs are welcomed, and centered, within community spaces through universal design.
Economic Opportunity
Adults with disabilities exert full control over financial decisions and have access to employment at minimum wage or higher alongside non-disabled colleagues.
Friends and Relationships
Adults with disabilities live with, work alongside, and have long-term relationships with community members with and without disabilities.
Safety & Autonomy
Adults with disabilities live free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation through community safeguards and individualized resources.
Civic Engagement
Adults with disabilities successfully access the vote, as well as meaningful opportunities to engage in political activities, peaceful protest, and community organizing.
Freedom from Discrimination
Adults with disabilities, including those who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of color, and/or lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, are able to freely exercise the same rights as their white, cisgender, heterosexual, non-disabled counterparts.
