AFAE Farm Project

Purpose & Vision

A working farm that doubles as an inclusive learning sanctuary, where children with special needs can thrive through hands-on, nature-based education. A space that offers non-traditional learning paths for youth and adults alike, teaching practical skills like gardening, cooking, sustainable living, and environmental stewardship. A community hub where healing and growth are rooted in the rhythms of the earth.

Our goal is to establish a year round farm and nature based school for students of all ages that centers on reconnection with Earth and inclusive learning.

Why an educational matters?

  • Children are all abilities often lack access to experiential, adaptive learning environments that places them in the natural world. We’re building one that celebrates their unique strengths.

  • Our community needs more inclusive, alternative educational spaces that connect people to land, wellness, and one another.

What will this Farm Project look like?

As a the project is ongoing, we have small goals/activities before reaching our ultimate purpose of creating the farm school:

  • Adopt a garden bed initiative along with garden open hours - families can support AFAE and practice small scale farming on our property

  • Adopt an animal initiative that allows local families to support us while learning animal husbandry

  • Seasonal Planting Parties that supports life-long community and connection with other families in Southern California

We Hope You Will Join Us Soon!

As a fully volunteer-run nonprofit organization, we cannot function without the support of our community. Please consider supporting us through Donations!
