Boys Farm, Inc.

To offer a home exclusively for the purpose of providing a Christian, charitable, and educational home, with love, training, understanding, guidance and to meet the spiritual, as well as physical needs of boys in need of assistance.

Boys Farm, Inc. is a private Christian children's home for boys in need of hope and healing. Boys Farm was established in 1960 by the Rev. W.D. Shealy and his wife, with the motto "building boys rather than mending men". We offer long-term comprehensive care in traditional single-family homes with full-time houseparent families. Boys Farm meets the immediate physical, educational, emotional and spiritual needs of the children in our care by providing the framework and foundation necessary to develop into healthy and productive adults. We provide a unique family-oriented model of care that is designed to provide the structure and support needed to help those we serve heal, grow, and thrive.

Each child we serve is unique and incredible, and the opportunity to see their growth and development within a healthy, safe, and supportive environment is unparalleled. In addition to the ways we serve at-risk youth, the families we support through providing this level of care are greatly benefitted with the opportunity to focus on gainful employment, stable housing, further education, and improved quality of life. Our programs produce generational change and individual and family success.

Testimonials

This Christmas, we were so thankful for a visit from one of our alumni who stayed with us at Boys Farm over the holidays. This is still home, and he knows that he will ALWAYS be family. Coming to Boys Farm in the 5th grade, this young man struggled to put the pieces of the puzzle together, but over time everything began to click. We were so glad to celebrate his success as a career Army officer, a faithful husband, and a strong encouragement to the next generation every time he comes to visit.
