The Vision

We are building more than a ranch.

We are building a community where individuals are seen, valued, challenged, supported, and given opportunities to live meaningful lives surrounded by purpose and belonging.

Residential Living

Safe, intentional housing where residents experience independence, support, and community.

Meaningful Work

Vocational opportunities through ranch operations, agriculture, produce, crafts, storefront items, animal care, baking, pottery, woodworking, animal/pet treats, greeting card creating, jewelery making, and community partnerships.

Life Skills & Growth

Developing confidence, responsibility, communication, and independence through real-life experiences.

Community & Belonging

Creating a place where individuals build friendships, routines, purpose, and lasting relationships.

Who We Serve

Open Gate Ranch is being designed to support adults with disabilities by creating opportunities for continued growth, purposeful work, and intentional community living.

We welcome adults of all ages with special needs and believe every individual deserves opportunities to continue learning, contributing, building relationships, and living with purpose beyond traditional school years.

Open Gate Ranch is intended to serve individuals with a wide range of support needs. For participants who require one-on-one support, families or state-provided caregivers/job coaches are welcome to accompany and support them within the program.

As the ranch grows, our goal is to continue expanding opportunities based on the unique needs, strengths, skills, and interests of our residents and participants. We believe every person has value, abilities, and potential worth investing in, and we hope to create programs that allow individuals to thrive in ways meaningful to them.

Our long-term vision includes vocational opportunities, life skills development, community involvement, recreational activities, and ranch-based experiences that foster confidence, belonging, and independence.

Open Gate Ranch plans to begin as a day program/day habilitation program, with future goals of developing intentional residential housing and long-term living opportunities as the organization grows and resources allow.
