Cultivating H.O.P.E. is a Colorado non-profit therapeutic community farm.  Cultivating Hope’s mission is to positively impact our community by offering H.O.P.E. with our therapeutic farm activities and programs. The name H.O.P.E. is an acronym for “Holistic Opportunities for Personal Enrichment”. The foundation is the result of founder Michelle Macdonald’s vision of providing social, educational and therapeutic opportunities that establish a connection with community, the land, and agricultural roots.

Rural and agricultural culture has always depended on connections between people, animals, and the land. There is a general sense of well-being when interacting and working with nature, plants, animals. We provide opportunities for activities centered on a strong sense of both community involvement and personal growth. We want to be a positive influence that improves the general well-being of each individual that participates in our programs.
