This program is designed to develop 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, 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 or Wednesday. Sessions are 8-weeks in length beginning Monday, April 1st and ending Wednesday, May 22nd. 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 plenty to do on the Farm and we encourage you to volunteer. Check the box below if you would like to volunteer when your Farmer is participating in the program. Yes, to volunteer Next
