Welcome to Summer's Farm
At Summer's Farm, our mission is to educate and empower children and teenagers with ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent experiences through hands-on learning in food growing, sustainability, and nutrition. We provide a supportive and inclusive environment where young minds can explore the joys of gardening, learn about different grow mediums, and discover the power and potential of seeds.
Our programs foster a love for nature, promote healthy living, and encourage environmental responsibility. By combining agricultural education with sensory-friendly experiences, we help neurodivergent youth build confidence, develop life skills, and cultivate a lasting connection to the earth. At Summer’s Farm, we’re growing more than food—we’re growing future stewards of a sustainable world.
