Farmsteads of New England, Inc.
(FNE) is an agency that has developed an intentional farming
community that caters to the needs of people who have autism and
other developmental disabilities. We provide our programs'
participants with meaningful work and numerous opportunities for
recreation and socialization.
Our farm is located in
Hillsborough, New Hampshire. There we provide a natural setting for
concrete, meaningful activities that many people find satisfying
– growing crops, raising animals, enjoying nature. Additionally,
our programs provide the opportunity in which to live a holistic
lifestyle, one in which activities are interrelated and life makes sense. |

We are a particularly appropriate
choice for people who prefer a rural setting over an urban lifestyle
and/or for people who are not experiencing success/fulfillment in the
more common community-based programs and competitive employment situations.
FNE was founded by Deborah DeScenza Gray, M.Ed. Deborah is the mother
of a child with significant special needs and has worked in the field
of special education as a teacher, program coordinator, and
consultant for almost twenty years. For more information about our
programs, please use the links at left or contact us today by
