Combining care of the land with
care of people, in a setting where they feel safe, respected and engaged
in meaningful activity.
Using commercial farms,
woodlands and market gardens as a base for promoting mental and physical
health through normal farming activity.
A partnership between farmers,
participants and health & social care agencies, that develops people's
potential rather than focusing on their limitations.
