The idea of using Agriculture as a therapeutic intervention dates back to the Middle Ages.

The concept was based on the belief that farm work kept those with mental challenges out of trouble and also gave them a sense of purpose and allowed them to be contributing members of the community.  In to the 19th century, the concept of Care Farming became increasingly popular and farming activities were applied within asylums, hospitals and rehabilitation programs.

Now more than ever, as technology addiction rises, as COVID isolates and as disconnection from self, others and our natural world increases, Care Farming offers a way back. Connection in nature offers physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness opportunities and expands our experience of what it means to be a part of this world, this community, this family and this life.
