About US
Growing Minds Farm Education is dedicated to all of the family, friends, and colleagues who shaped our lives both personally and professionally. Growing Minds grew out of the love and dedication of David and Joni's love for animals and their welfare leading to the establishment of Hacienda O'Holland Animal Care Foundation. Growing Minds is also a product of the compassion, empathy, and commitment of Michael and Vicki's entire careers as professionals dedicated to inclusion, self-determination, and the quality of lives for all families impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities through education for all stakeholders. We have been lucky enough to also have Thomas McCool Ed.D as a board member of Growing Minds. As a colleague and a dear friend, Tom brings his expertise in running 501(c)(3) organizations, fundraising, as well as his expertise in Autism and education.
