Mission Statement

Our mission is to offer farm-centered therapy programs; provide environmental and agricultural education; promote and build a sense of community; instill a sense of global reverence; and encourage personal health and wellness.   We will be a catalyst for change in the way that people view their place in the world.  Our aim is to remind people that they are part of something larger, a web of interconnectedness that links them to the world around them, bringing awareness to the intrinsic value of that relationship.   <br /> <br />Through education and fostering connections we seek to strengthen bonds with nature and our neighbors, to help people evolve a healthier lifestyle for themselves, and to encourage them to preserve the Earth.   We will teach a world view, which begins with respect for self and others and extends to encompass a respect for the world as a whole.

Impact Summary from the Nonprofit

Our activities create personal growth,  increase participants' mental and physical well-being, and strengthen bonds between them,  their community, and the natural world.  Using nature and animals as our medium we teach the value of trust, compassion, connection, and service.   We provide a platform from which participants can achieve therapeutic, educational, vocational, or personal wellness goals, but our focus is much larger than any of these individual components.  What we truly strive for is to create symbiosis, where participants clearly see, and come to value, their connection to the world around them; where they are both receiving and giving assistance; and where everyone benefits from a relationship that is mutually supportive.

Program: Farm Therapy

Budget:: $140,000
Category:: Human Services
Population Served:: Disabled, General or Disability Unspecified; General Public/Unspecified

Program Description:

We believe that nature and animals have an inherently therapeutic effect. In order to capitalize on this natural benefit, we provide opportunities for community members, specifically those with special needs, to visit local farms and engage with the farm environment and the animals that live there. 

Program Long-Term Success:

We have been actively engaging participants in farm-centered therapy for the past two years, with great success.

Program Short-Term Success:

On a daily basis, we see clear evidence of the benefits participants  receive from being in the farm environment and learning about the world around them.  We also see clear benefits that we can provide to the farmers, with whom we partner.

Program Success Monitored by:

Program Success Examples:

Bekah has been a long term participant in our farm therapy program.  She is the victim of a traumatic brain injury, as a result of a car accident 8 years ago.  Through our partnership with two local farmers, we are able to provide Bekah with an environment in which she has grown and developed her sense of community, her knowledge, and her self-worth- through service to, and connection with, her neighbors
