Care farming

Care farming is like going to a really special kind of farm where you can help take care of plants and animals. But it’s not just any farm – it’s a place where people who need a little extra help with their health or happiness can go to feel better.

Just like how our bodies need good food to be healthy, taking care of animals and plants can also help us feel better. Care farmers know this and use it to help people who might need some extra support.

Imagine you’re feeling sad or anxious. Sometimes it can be hard to talk about your feelings or know what to do to feel better. That’s where care farming can help! By working with animals and plants, you can focus on taking care of something else, which can help you feel more relaxed and happy. Plus, being outside in nature is really good for us!

People with disabilities or mental health issues, or people who have experienced difficult times like being in foster care, can all benefit from care farming. It’s a special kind of therapy called horticulture therapy. It’s like going to the doctor, but instead of talking about your feelings, you work with plants and animals to take care of them and yourself.

Care farming is a really special place where lots of different kinds of people can go to feel better and learn new things. It’s like a big family farm where everyone helps each other out and feels happy together!
