Lambs Farm was formed in the 1960s by Corrine Owen and Robert Terese. Owen and Terese had been teaching at a school for adults with developmental disabilities, and were discouraged by the limited opportunities available to such people. In 1961, they opened a pet store near Chicago's Gold Coast and employed twelve of their students, who enthusiastically helped tend to the animals.〔Delia O'Hare.

The farm takes its name from John 21:15, in which Jesus tells St. Peter, "Feed my lambs."〔Patricia Leeds. "Retarded find haven at Lambs Farm". ''Chicago Tribune''. June 20, 1974. S8.〕
