About the Farm
Mandy’s Farm is a nonprofit organization that assists individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve goals by structuring a positive, purposeful and caring environment for living, learning, and working in the community.
Why the Farm Needed Solar
Horseback riding, organic gardening, caring for animals – the staff and residents of Mandy’s Farm spend a lot of time enjoying the outdoors. They care deeply care about nature, and as an organization they want to be sustainable.
They also have a pool, and an artspace. That takes a lot of energy. Unfortunately they don’t have a huge, national funding base, so solar panels were out of reach. We wanted to change that.
Sunshine plays a big part in our daily lives – adding energy produced by the sun will be a huge bonus to our cause and fits in perfectly with our mission.

Over its lifetime, the installation is expected to save them $40,000 in electricity charges. Thanks to our crowd of supporters and generous community sponsors, who helped make this happen. We particularly want to thank:
