Safe Haven Farms is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located on 60 acres in Madison Township, Butler County, Ohio.  It was founded by a group of local parents in response to the lack of residential and vocational services for adults with developmental disabilities.

Our Mission

Safe Haven Farms is a nonprofit organization offering residential, day and community services in a farm setting for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. We provide meaningful living, working, learning and leisure activities in a safe and accepting environment where every individual is respected as a valued and contributing community member.

The mind is enriched by what it receives. The heart by what it gives.
— Victor Hugo
