Care Farm Tour & Meetup at ACRES Project (State College)
Sarah Sorci
Care Farming Network is teaming up with Adults Creating Residential Employment Solutions (ACRES) Project for a Care Farm Tour & Meet Up. Whether you’re an experienced care farmer, just getting started, or a community member interested in learning about care farming, we hope you’ll join us!
This is an opportunity to connect, share ideas and inspiration, and see firsthand how ACRES Project is building a safe, inclusive community that bridges gaps in services for neurodivergent people. We’ll learn about their programming while touring their aquaponic, hydroponic, and in-ground growing systems.
Following the tour, stay for a potluck and informal conversation on care farming practices, organizational needs, and how we can support one another. ACRES participants will share food they’ve prepared and join us for the meal.
