Our Story

Rooted in PurposeGrowing in Love

Navarro Family at the farmstand

Navarro Farm was never just about growing crops—it was about growing people. It started with a simple yet powerful belief: that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve a place where they can thrive, find purpose, and be part of something bigger.

For the Navarro family, this mission was personal. Having a son with intellectual and developmental disabilities, they saw firsthand the need for opportunities that went beyond traditional programs. They dreamed of a space where he—and others like him—could work with their hands, build confidence, and form meaningful connections. Inspired by their faith and driven by love, they turned that dream into reality.

What began as a family vision has blossomed into a thriving farm where farmers, families, volunteers, and the community come together. Here, seeds of opportunity are planted, independence is cultivated, and a strong, supportive community is harvested. Every day, we see lives transformed—not just in the fields, but in the hearts of everyone who steps onto this land.

Navarro Farm is more than a place—it’s a purpose. And it’s only just beginning.

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.
