On June 2, 2003 GHA Autism Supports began construction on Carolina Farms, a new and innovative program in Albemarle, North Carolina designed to enable additional individuals from the autism community to realize a dream of residing in a farming environment in beautiful Stanly County.

Carolina Farms was initially developed in three phases, with the final phase being completed in November 2005. Each phase involved the construction of a six-bed group home along with additional facilities that encompass the vocational aspects of life on the farm. Additional facilities for the Farm include a multi-purpose building, barn, two greenhouses, recreational track and swimming pool.
