2024 Harvest Farmer Program

What?   

This program is designed to develop a healthy lifestyle by teaching Farmers how to make healthy food choices for a long-term lifestyle. The curriculum is designed to take Farmers through the process of planting, growing, harvesting, and preparing a variety of sustainable, wholesome, nutritious food options.

Who?     

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 14+. They are referred to as Farmers.

Days & Dates:

Two independent sessions running either Monday and Wednesday.

Sessions are 4-weeks in length beginning with Wednesday, October 9th and ending Monday, November 4th.

To maintain the integrity of the program, a Farmer can only attend the day in which they are enrolled. Farmers can request to be enrolled in multiple days, depending on availability.

Missed days cannot be made up.

Time:

The day will promptly start at 9am and go until 11:00 am.

Parents/guardians are asked to escort their Farmer to the barn and encouraged to volunteer for non-program activities or relax on the property.  There is always plenty to do on the Farm and we encourage you to volunteer.
