The Agency began in 1982 with the purchase of a large historic ranch and the founding of a new home for very special children. The lush forest, complete with streams, two rivers and a thousand foot mountain is an encapsulation of the beauty of Oregon. The program was designed to give abused children a beautiful setting in which to grow and learn. One of the goals at Jasper Mountain is to feed the children here nourishing foods grown locally and organically so that they may have the best nutritional foundation possible in which to grow and learn.
