2023 Summer Farmer Program

What?:     

This program is designed to elicit a healthy lifestyle by teaching to 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, cooking and preparing a variety of sustainable, wholesome, nutritious food options.  This will be complemented by the Farm cooking program coming this summer.

Who?:      

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 14+.

Days & Dates: 

• Three independent sessions running either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.  
• Sessions are 8-weeks in length beginning Monday, June 5th and ending Friday, July 28th.  
• In order to maintain the integrity of the program, a Farmer can only attend the day they are enrolled in.  Farmers can request to be enrolled in multiple days, depending on availability.
• Missed days can not be made up.

Time: 

• The day will promptly start at 9am and go until 11:30 am. 
• Parents/guardians are welcome to escort their Farmer to the barn, and encouraged to stay and help or relax for a few hours.  The Farm is a wonderful place to be in the summer and The Porch near the Tool Shed is always cooler. 
• I would like to volunteer when my Farmer is participating in the program.
