I don’t let the old man in. I keep myself busy. You have to stay active, alive, happy, strong, capable. I don’t let in the old critic… which denies to itself that old age can be creative, decisive, full of light and projection… Getting older is not for sissies.   – Clint Eastwood

Welcome to Out To Pasture Farms

We are a Continuing Care Retirement Farm that does things a little differently. When you move into your home on the Farm, you never have to leave. Through the entire aging process, the care is brought to you in your home, instead of you being forced to move into a nursing facility to receive higher levels of care. There is a working farm at your doorstep with a wealth of opportunities for you to get involved and prolong and enrich your life through purposeful work and involvement in your community. Click on the pictures below to learn more about the different aspects of the Farm, then fill out the form at the bottom of the page to connect with us and discover the beauty of not just retiring, but living your next great adventure at OTP Farms!
