Through happy visits at the farm and meaningful interactions with our feathered and furry friends, we support those who need it most. Inspired by a chance visit to a local hospice care facility, founder, Michelle McNamara, turned the newly acquired homestead into a 501(c)3 care farm serving our community's at-risk individuals. The primary purpose of the farm is to create a safe, judgement-free environment where individuals in various emotional and physical support programs can engage in self-care. The farm welcomes visits from clients and their family members needing support through hospice care, mental health services, physical therapy programs, or special needs organizations. During the farm visit, these individuals receive a farm tour, engage in hands-on care opportunities such as bottle feeding the babies and gathering eggs in the chicken coop, and are encouraged to build bonds with the animals to reduce stress and anxiety. All farm visits for at-risk individuals are FREE of charge. To learn more about the farm, visit www.mcfablefarm.com.
