Our Legacy

Long before I came along, Serenity Farms, Inc. has been dedicated to fostering recovery, strengthening community, and creating meaningful social impact.

We’re not new to the neighborhood—or to The Landmark Building. If you’ve noticed some recent construction, thank you for your patience. Within these walls, we’re building a space where hope takes root, gaps in services are bridged, and individuals and families can rebuild their lives with dignity and support.

As a lifelong Washington County resident, this community is a part of who I am. Many may remember my parents, Andrew G. and Juliana J. Uram, whose lifelong dedication to service and philanthropy helped shape much of what makes Washington strong today. 

My father believed that true success comes from giving back—a value he lived every day, from helping secure land for the Boy Scouts’ Heritage Reservation to supporting the Symphony, Citizens Library, and United Way. 

His example taught me that one person’s commitment can uplift an entire community. It is this spirit of compassion and service that became the foundation of Serenity Farms. Our mission today is to carry forward this legacy of Service Above Self by empowering recovery, expanding opportunities, and uplifting individuals and families across Washington County and beyond.

At Serenity Farms, we are more than a nonprofit—we are a partner in every journey. Our programs promote mental wellness, housing stability, and inclusive economic growth, each rooted in the values my parents instilled: compassion, integrity, and service to others.

Together, we continue to plant seeds of healing, nurture growth, and build a stronger, more resilient community—one person, one family, and one project at a time.

Serenity Farms, Inc., a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is committed to fostering resilience, dignity, and opportunity for seniors, veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, and those on the path to recovery. Our work is rooted in compassion and driven by innovation, addressing critical challenges such as the opioid and fentanyl crisis while creating pathways to long-term wellness.

We envision a future where every individual has access to safe, inclusive, and supportive environments. Through comprehensive programs and community partnerships, we provide housing solutions, recovery support, education, training, and essential resources that empower individuals and families to rebuild their lives.

Our initiatives prioritize affordability, accessibility, and volunteerism, cultivating a sense of belonging and shared responsibility. By combining education, treatment access, and community engagement, we strive to reduce the impact of addiction and promote sustainable recovery.

With unwavering dedication, Serenity Farms, Inc. is growing recovery—one person, one family, and one opportunity at a time—building a healthier, stronger, and more inclusive Washington County and beyond.

 To create a thriving, inclusive community where every individual—regardless of age, circumstance, or challenge—has the opportunity to heal, grow, and live with dignity. We envision a future where recovery is accessible, housing is secure, and hope is abundant for seniors, veterans, the unhoused, and those overcoming addiction.
