Healing Farms is a non-profit that strives to bring the needs of the special needs population to the attention of our community.
We focus on the gifts and talents of each individual to help them find their place and purpose so that they can participate in the community and give back.
We want to shape a culture to look beyond disability and see ABILITY first.
Rather than going to a “place” and performing a “task”, our participants join a small group made up of four to six young adults with disabilities, a facilitator, and one to two volunteers who share similar interests. We believe friendships foster trust and inspire our participants to take on new challenges…
Camp ABILITY is our summer day camp designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are still in high school ages 17+. It provides the opportunity for your camper to not only have fun and form new friendships, but also the opportunity to stretch, grow, and build life skills resulting in a greater level of independence…

Volunteer
We love watching the inspiration unfold as volunteers come to Healing Farms. The impact our buddies can have on those around them is amazing- and many times what they teach us is far more valuable than any lesson we’ve set out to teach them. We need volunteers for all sorts of things, from working directly with our buddies to helping in the garden, selling salsa at area events, and serving as drivers. We know there are many worthy organizations you can volunteer with- and we thank you for considering us!
