What We Do

About Us

Blessings Farm is a 162 acre farm located in Butler County, Alabama owned by Ken and Jan Kilpatrick. The farm belonged to Jan’s Dad and Mom, Woodrow and Edwina Butts and her uncle, Leroy Butts. Before his death, Woodrow would reflect daily how God had wonderfully blessed him throughout his 98 years of living. Thus, the name “Blessings Farm” became a natural title. It is our desire to use this farm to the glory of God and to be a blessing to others. We both have a passion to work with at-risk-youth and their families. The Hope Afield Program was formed out of this passion. In 2016, Hope Afield officially became a 501© (3) non-profit.
