Adult Special Needs Training Program at Farmsteadability
Our Story
We started Farmsteadability in 2022 as a hands-on food cottage operation program for differently-abled adults. Since then, we have grown in skill acquisition, independence, teamwork, faith, and most of all, love in a supportive environment. Today, Farmsteadability is HOMESTEADABILITY's first hands-on small business program and will continue on in our future village.
Our Program
Farmsteadability provides a supportive environment where differently-abled adults learn essential skills through hands-on experiences in a cottage/farm food operation, preparing them for future community integration, authentic employment, and communal living.
What We Do at the "Farm"
Gardening activities at Farmsteadability offer differently-abled adults the chance to engage in harvesting, stripping herbs, and packing their produce. Participants also learn the importance of labeling and selling their goods, which helps develop valuable daily living skills. Cooking and food prep are integral parts of this supportive environment, enhancing their culinary abilities. Community outings, special events, and trips provide opportunities for socialization and personal growth. Additionally, activities like laundry self-care, art, and artisanship foster creativity and independence. Faith-informed discussions and charity work encourage a sense of purpose and community involvement.
