Welcome to Hendo Care Farm
A community wellness resource that utilizes the natural healing benefits of animals and nature through a variety of youth and adult farm-based programs and workshops.
What is a Care Farm?
“Care Farming” is an international term for therapeutic use of farming practices. We love to utilize the natural healing benefits of the great outdoors, plants and animals because they truly benefit ALL people. We are proud to be an "all inclusive" health and wellness resource for our community regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, immigration status, and/or ability. We celebrate diversity and we strive to make a safe space that is more inclusive and less oppressive to all people.
