Property Improvements

Thanks to the generosity of our many donors and grants from local foundations, we are continuing to improve and grow the facilities at Safe Haven Farms. This summer and fall, we completed construction of our new hydroponic greenhouse and installed electrical and plumbing services to it. We look forward to using it this winter to keep our vegetables coming all winter.

We received a grant from an anonymous donor through the Hamilton Community Foundation in March to allow us to replace the leaking roof and the gutters of the Welcome House (office building). The original roof was built in 1972 and had been re-shingled a couple of times. All of the old shingles were removed, and new ones installed in August, so now it’s as good as new!

Our horse barn roof has been peeling paint for a couple of years and it was down to bare metal in some places. We had it stripped and repainted this fall. It looks great and should be good for several more years.

After 10 years of wear-and-tear, the carpets in the living rooms and staff rooms of our four residences needed replacing. We replaced them with vinyl plank flooring this spring which will make for longer life and much easier cleanup for the staff. Your continued donations and participation in our fundraisers are what makes these kinds of important property projects possible. Thanks to everyone for your support.
