You’re Invited!

Come out to Happy Hill Farm on September 1st for a Ribbon Cutting and Celebration Lunch!

A bill to rename State Highway 144 in honor of my grandfather and Happy Hill Farm Founder, Ed Shipman, has passed through the Texas legislature and has been signed by Governor Abbott.

A section of State Highway 144, including the portion in front of Happy Hill Farm, will be renamed to the

Ed Shipman Memorial Highway



All of us at the Farm are overwhelmed with gratitude for this honoring of the legacy of my grandfather — and recognition of the work of everyone at Happy Hill Farm in helping children for the past 48 years to realize a better future — and we want to celebrate with you!

Join us for a day of encouragement, community, and recognition of our work together in the lives of young people. Donors, alumni, employees, teachers and friends will join together to look back on the last 48 years — and look forward to future decades of impact at Happy Hill Farm.
