Photojournalist Nathan Sharkey takes us to Old School Farms! The non-profit uses therapeutic farming practices and employs adults with developmental disabilities, known as “mission farmers,” who grow, harvest & deliver produce to food insecure communities in Nashville.

The farm provides a supportive work environment where everyone feels comfortable and can learn about organic, regenerative agriculture.
