Helping Friendly Farm offers fun for families with special needs

NEW HOPE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Former special education teacher Jessica Zander cultivated a beautiful sanctuary where experiences are tailor-made for children of all abilities.

'Helping Friendly Farm' opened in 2022 and offers families a combination of sensory exploration, nature, and animal interaction.

After making a reservation, families typically have the whole farm to themselves and can enjoy activities at their own pace.

They can enjoy various rooms in the sensory barn and interact with trained animals like goats and pigs.
