We’ve got great news to share!
After several years of dreaming of a vision;
Two years of looking for a perfect site;
A year developing curriculum, policies and procedures;
Another year of transforming a beautiful barn;
Hundreds of hours researching construction codes and government regulations…
FINALLY, with the love and support of our family, friends, and those-no-longer-strangers, we are now a licensed provider of day support services!
We can’t imagine how to properly thank everyone who bought a bouquet, “liked” a photo, gave us a referral, pulled weeds, posted an encouraging word, visited our farm, wrote a check, laughed/cried with us, and all-around helped us keep this little dream alive.
The list of people who have lifted us, helped us, and cheered us on in ways small and large is vast.
We are looking forward to the journey ahead and sharing it with you! Gayle, Don, Eli & Mary

A new innovative day support experience for people with diverse needs in the Richmond/Hanover area!
At Full Pocket Farm, our mission is to inspire and assist individuals living with disabilities in developing self-reliance, self-determination, and independence through inclusive and meaningful agricultural activities and creative expression.
We build life skills and practice vocational skills through therapeutic horticulture and inspired art techniques that explore the talents within. Our approach is holistic in that we address the desires of individuals and the "real life" goals they want to achieve rather than just provide a place to spend the day.
Participant "Farmers” choose activities based on their preferences and goals. Options include cultivating plants, working with animals, harvesting crops, tending herb and flower gardens, developing farming skills, woodworking and creating crafts and other marketable products in a nurturing environment with natural supports. Our activities change with the seasons.
Full Pocket Farm recognizes and values each person's daily contribution through revenue sharing and group decision making. We encourage exploring interests and mentor those who are interested in becoming an entrepreneur. Community interaction through the hosting of farm events, educating others about what we have learned, and selling what we produce and grow at markets is a major component of what we do at Full Pocket Farm.
We'll make a difference together and have FUN doing it!
