“By Tending, we also heal.”

Our skill building and pre-vocational programs offer a welcoming environment where participants can develop valuable work skills, social connections and confidence through meaningful farm activities. We combine hands on tasks like growing food, caring for animals and maintaining farm spaces with guided support and choice-based learning.

Our Group Farming program offers an immersive, hands-on experience where groups, schools and community organizations can connect with the land, animals and each other! Through activities like animal husbandry, food cultivation, and nature-based projects, participants learn by doing— exploring natural cycles that sustain life while gaining practical knowledge and teamwork. Oh, and we have a LOT of fun!

Our Community based co-farming program invites you to drop in and experience the joys of farming during our open hours. Whether you’re curious about tending to animals, growing food, or simply looking for a peaceful place to connect with Nature, our farm offers a welcoming and inclusive space to get your hands in the soil, and your heart in the moment. Engage in farm tasks at your own pace, meet like-minded people and discover the grounding benefits of working with the land.

Our employee engagement and team building programs provide a unique and impactful way to enhance physical and mental wellness and team cohesion. Through hands on farming tasks, employees can step away from their daily work demands and immerse themselves in meaningful, collaborative activity. Farm experiences encourage problem solving and teamwork, but also proves opportunities for stress reduction and self care. For HR professionals and employers seeking unique engagement opportunities, Open Farms offers an environment where employees can connect with the land and eachother, contribute to a greater purpose, and return to work feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
