Come meet fellow care farmers for a tour and lunch at Reed's Farm!
October 5, 2024 11:00am-2:00pm
You’re invited to visit and learn about care farming and how Reed’s Farm serves as “a living laboratory where people can learn about and participate in sustainable agriculture, fostering a deeper connection between people and the land.”
A Meaningful Purpose at Reed’s Farm was founded in 2020 to address the needs of food insecurity, soil regeneration, and community inclusiveness in Atlantic County, NJ. The farm operates year-round utilizing organic and regenerative practices, hosts a sanctuary for farm animals, and provides educational and vocational programming to local schools and organizations with a focus on individuals with cognitive disabilities.
This Care Farming Tour & Meetup is funded by a SARE Northeast grant, the goal of which is to increase employment and meaningful work opportunities for people with I/DD on farms. We hope that care farmers will feel more connected and supported as we build an infrastructure that includes mentoring, farm tours, and training opportunities for those involved in this work.
Following the tour there will be an opportunity to eat lunch at Reed's Farm Market!
