Join the Care Farming Network for our “Virtual Deep Dive” — a one-hour, in-depth look at a single care farm in our network. Think of it as a virtual farm tour, minus the mud boots.

This one-hour Deep Dive features Simple Sparrow Care Farm, a trauma-informed care farm based in Hutto, Texas, just outside Austin. What began as founder Jamie Tanner’s hobby farm in 2013 has grown into a 501(c)3 nonprofit serving veterans, foster and adoption families, survivors of trafficking, and people of all ages and backgrounds — teaching them to care for land, gardens, and animals so they’re better equipped to care for themselves and others.

Joining us for this Deep Dive is Jamie Tanner, founder and Board President of Simple Sparrow. You’ll hear their origin story, how they operate day-to-day, what’s working, and what’s hard — followed by 15 minutes of open Q&A.

Whether you’re an aspiring care farmer, an established practitioner, or simply curious, you’ll come away with a real, on-the-ground picture of how one care farm is helping people in recovery grow stronger, together with the animals in their care.

Registration is free. Everyone is welcome.
