Helping people with developmental disabilities since 1961.
About us
Founded in 1961 by Bob Terese and Corinne Owen, Lambs Farm was created based on a simple belief: All people should be treated with dignity and respect and people with developmental disabilities can lead meaningful and productive lives. They opened The Lambs, a pet shop on State Street in downtown Chicago, to create work opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, and to demonstrate that they can do a great deal more than most people thought possible at the time. In 1965. W. Clement Stone donated what is now the 72-acre farm with a century old barn that we call home. We now serve 250 participants. Most of them live at Lambs Farm in one of our nine group homes, in our 16-unit apartment building or in our retirement residence. Some participants live in the surrounding community in single family homes owned and operated by Lambs Farm. Other participants live at home with their families but commute to Lambs Farm daily to work and take part in our many programs. Many of our people are employed in the community while many more choose to work at Lambs Farm in a wide array of jobs available to them through our businesses, work center, administration, groundskeeping and more.

Students at Rosalind Franklin Medical school kicked off the school year on a high note with an awesome volunteer day at Lambs Farm! They planted the last of our summer perennials, bathed and socialized our adoptable pups, assisted with cookie production and organized donations at the Thrift Shop. Thank you, Rosalind Franklin, for your ongoing partnership and support!

It may have been one of the hottest days of the summer, but that didn't stop Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital from continuing their Lambs Farm tradition! Every year this dedicated group generously donates funds and time to help us make improvements on campus. During this visit, they focused on weeding, trimming and mulching areas of the Farmyard and freshening up the landscaping at Green-Field, our intermediate care facility. Thank you, Northwestern Medicine, for your partnership and friendship.
