Our Story
In 1974, a single phone call began a 50-year journey for Happy Hill Farm. When two teenage girls fled a troubled home, Ed and Gloria Shipman opened their hearts and home to them. Their search for long-term solutions revealed a shocking lack of resources for underprivileged children with high potential. This experience ignited a passion in the Shipmans to create a safe haven for children in need. A year later, they launched Happy Hill Farm from a mobile home in Granbury, Texas, with a mission to provide a nurturing environment where children can discover their God-given potential and build successful futures.
