Our two vocational programs are for young adults (Co-Care Farmers), children and teens (Co-Care Farmers Jr.) with developmental, physical, sensory or mental health needs who have an interest in being part of a farm operation. 

Each program will give participants the opportunity to build a sense of responsibility, independence and pride, all while experiencing life on a 50-acre organic farm.

Participants will:

• Make new friends

• Take on leadership roles

• Boost coping skills

• Foster independence

• Practice teamwork skills 

• Increase self-esteem

• Improve social skills

• Learn through experience and exploration

The focus of each program is to teach hard skills of working on the farm (using farm tools, animal care and gardening), alongside soft skills (fundamental skills, personal management skills and teamwork skills).
