Ecomony at Kimberton Hills

Since Kimberton Hills is a community, it does not receive any government funding. For this reason, Kimberton Hills relies on charities, donations, and income generated by their bakery, cafe, and craft products. Although it is encouraged for residents with developmental disabilities to pay an annual fee, this is decided upon on a case by case basis. Some residents receive social security and medicare but other governmental funding does not exist for Kimberton Hills. The gardens, farm, orchards, and dairy provide food for the villagers and relieves some economic stress. Despite the though economic situation for Kimberton Hills, the village was is very well maintained and community enjoys a high quality of life. They are currently working on their website so that the crafts made by the villagers can be purchased online. The JEM group also suggested etsy.com as an outlet for selling their crafts. The cafe is open Tuesday- Saturday, 11-2pm, serving soups, sandwiches (mostly vegetarian) and desserts. They also serve their raw milk at the cafe, and believe us when we say its the best milk we've ever tasted! If you're looking for a fun outing, go check them out, support their cafe and enjoy strolling around through their beautiful land.
