ABOUT US
STEWARD THE LAND. DEVELOP LEADERS. BUILD A LEGACY.
Dreamers’ Ranch is a working ranch that creates conditions for young leaders to step into their potential through mentorship and faith-informed programs on agriculture and entrepreneurship. Whether working on the farm or learning how to start and run a business, youth discover their unique capability and build their skills in leadership so they can drive positive impact in their community. Dreamers' Ranch is a department of YouthStorm, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
MISSION
We equip young leaders to understand their identity, live out their purpose, and authentically impact our community and world through faith-informed education, hands-on experience, and entrepreneurial pursuit.
HISTORY
Dreamers' Ranch was established in 2017 in response to the growing needs of young people in southern New Hampshire and the greater Boston area. Located on the former Taylor Farm, Dreamers’ Ranch is a regenerative, working farm with cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs, honey bees, a community garden, and more.
Through the farm, our faith-based positive youth development programs, and mentorship, we inspire our students to dream and give them the tools they need to step out and make those dreams a reality.
