Happy Hill Farm

Here are some pictures of the natural wildlife that is rampant on the farm.

Fun fact about geese: Geese are attune to the emotions and behaviors of their flock around them! This means that geese experience physical symptoms when they view their companion or family in conflict with another goose.

From elementary school to junior high, it is amazing to see our boys and girls develop into young adults. We wish them the best as they complete this new school year!

A friend from Lucas' church shared this Christmas ornament from her parents tree. So sweet to have kept this all these years.

Our Christmas choir is looking forward to their 2024 tour for donors and friends! The holidays will be here before we know it …

Enjoy this photo of some of our littles lining up at the end of the school day. Their happy faces are a wholesome sight to see.

It’s the first official day of fall 🍂! As the leaves change and the weather grows cooler, the changes on the farm are spectacular to see over time.

50 years ago today, our founder Ed Shipman felt God put the vision for Happy Hill Farm on his heart. He commemorated this day by raising an Ebenezer stone, like the people of God did in the Old Testament to remember God’s care for them..

It reads: These stones bear testimony of our total dependence on our miracle working God

One of the extracurricular activities offered on campus is photography. Recently, students of the photography class had a photo challenge to demonstrate the idea of symmetry composition. Enjoy this photo of the dining center submitted by one of our students.

After a long day of classes, we all come together at the dining center to enjoy dinner as a community.

Win Alert: Lady Pioneers volleyball wins in three sets against Maypearl high school.

One year ago we gathered together in honor of Happy Hill Farm founder Ed Shipman as we unveiled the Ed Shipman Memorial Highway.

It was a sweet time together with many of our friends and local and state representatives in attendance. Here are photos from that day. Thank all of you for the support you have given throughout the years.

UPDATE: We are beginning construction of the Ed Shipman memorial walkway on campus this month to be completed this Fall. If you would like to add your brick, click here for more details - and plan to come out to our Christmas market this December to view the completed walkway.
