About Us
Providing healing, growth, and transformation since 1981.
Our History
Throughout the past 40 years, over 5000 people have come to The Farm seeking transformation and support. Wagner Hills started simply with a vision to help people on the road to recovery find a safe and life-giving place to work, breathe and escape some of their difficulties. This vision has blossomed into a thriving ministry through which thousands of lives have been transformed. The Farm equips men recovering from addiction with the safety and skills to grow, heal and lead successful lives after the program. Our compassionate staff and highly qualified educators work with our residents to develop a program that sets them up for success in their recovery journey. This program includes goal setting, skill training on the farm or in the office, professional counselling and a community that believes in them.
