There's a lot going on at Full Pocket Farm, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Here you will find Full Pocket Farm day support, an agriculture and arts-based program for our neuro-diverse community; Friends of Full Pocket Farm, providing inclusive educational outreach; and Full Pocket Flowers our flower farm.
The Farm is also our Family Home!
At Full Pocket Farm, our mission is to inspire and assist neuro-diverse people 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 and Artists 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, ceramics, 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 showcasing what we produce and grow at markets is a major component of what we do at Full Pocket Farm.
Each day we try to make a difference together and have FUN doing it!
