The Care Farming Network

The Care Farming Network is an organization that promotes the use of farms and rural spaces for therapeutic purposes. It connects individuals needing support—such as those with mental health issues, learning disabilities, or social challenges—with farms that offer care programs. These programs utilize activities like gardening, animal care, and farm management to improve participants' well-being, build skills, and foster social connections. The network advocates for the benefits of nature and farming as effective forms of therapy, supporting both mental health recovery and community engagement.
