Voices of the Network: 2025–2026 Farm to Institution Webinar Series
Care Farms are pioneers in integrating therapeutic farming practices with social care, providing innovative, holistic support to individuals with diverse needs. By integrating agricultural activities with therapeutic interventions, social support, skill development, and meaningful engagement with nature, care farms present a unique business model, and are often actively seeking to sell to institutions. In this webinar hosted by Farm to Institution New England and the Care Farming Network, hear from organizers and care farmers who are pioneering inclusive, supportive spaces on farms, where growers of all abilities, backgrounds, and life experiences are not only welcomed but given the opportunity to thrive. They’ll share about their unique models, how they got started, and their successes and challenges. Registration link here!
