Care Farming is the use of therapeutic interventions in combination with a working farm environment. Care farms are specifically structured to offer skill development, sustainable food practices as well as serve a therapeutic purpose.
OUR MISSION
At Making a Difference Care Farm, our mission is
to advance healing for vulnerable individuals through farming.
Therapeutic Care Farms or Green Farms are a novel way of interacting with neurodiverse individuals. It provides vulnerable individuals with healthy food, skill building, social and work opportunities. Additionally, it can provide language development, executive functions, sensory desensitization, skill and fine/gross motor development, and bonding. Care Farming also offers a sense of community, meaning and purpose as well as adaptive functions for success in life. It models empathy, compassion, theory of mind concepts, social communication/perception and self-regulation though mindfulness.
We share our therapeutic care farm with all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Especially those considered marginalized or vulnerable.
Our family runs two small booths at the Olde Towne Mall in Batesville Arkansas. We sell decor as well as things we have made on our Care Farm such as jelly, loose leaf teas and baked goods. All profit from the sale of the items from the booths help support the work we are doing on the therapeutic care farm. Our first booth is immediately on the right hand side as you walk into the store and the other booth is in the new wing. If you can't find them just ask for booths TD.
