At Navarro Farm, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the opportunity to grow—personally, socially, and professionally. Our farmers don’t just plant crops; they cultivate confidence, build friendships, and gain valuable life skills in a safe, supportive environment.

What Farmers Experience:

  • Hands-On Agriculture – Learn to plant, tend, and harvest crops, gaining a deep connection to the land and the food we grow.
  • Animal Care – From collecting eggs in the chicken coop to feeding the goats, farmers develop responsibility and hands-on skills while caring for our animals.
  • Farm-to-Table Cooking – Discover the joy of preparing fresh, homegrown ingredients through engaging cooking lessons that foster independence.
  • Life & Job Skills – Whether it’s working the farm stand or assisting with daily farm tasks, farmers gain skills that translate to everyday life.
  • Social & Recreational Activities – From talent shows and dances to worship Sundays and outdoor games, farmers build friendships and create unforgettable memories.

A Place to Belong

Navarro Farm is more than a program—it’s a home away from home. Every farmer is welcomed, valued, and supported by a community that sees their abilities, not their limitations. Through teamwork, encouragement, and hands-on experiences, farmers leave each day with a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

From Seeds to Smiles

At Navarro Farm, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities cultivate more than just crops—they cultivate confidence, independence, and community. Through the power of agriculture, we plant seeds of purpose and harvest lives transformed.

Where Belonging Takes Root

At Navarro Farm, we understand how important it is for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to find a community. That’s exactly why we built one. Here, all are welcome, all are respected, and all will find a place to grow.
