One Way Farm is changing directions, and therefore is liquidating some of its furnishings and other assets.

The non-profit children’s home was founded in 1976 by Barb and Gerald Condo and has served thousands of abused, abandoned and neglected children.

Unfortunately the model of housing 10 girls and 10 boys (ages 6-18) is no longer sustainable, said Carl Brown, who was appointed interim director by the One Way Farm board.

“We needed to look at a solution that was going to be more sustainable for the future so we can serve the most amount of children," he said.

Because the model is changing, there will be a liquidation sale that includes office equipment, furniture, two pianos, two big screen televisions, computer monitors and scrapbooking materials.

The liquidation sale is Thursday, May 17. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the sale starts at 6 p.m. at 6131 River Road in Fairfield.

One Way Farm will be closing its group home function and converting the facility to accommodate foster families, according to a statement on its website.

Because of the change in direction, One Way Farm is also canceling this year’s annual Daylily Festival.
