Growing Minds was proud to be one of 20 SBC Farms to host Farm Day sponsored by SEEAG. We had over 210 participants to GM. Participants enjoyed a lively, county fair-style atmosphere and met our rescued farm animals, shopped local ag and artisan vendors, enjoyed delicious refreshments, explored our sensory-friendly play area, and browsed garden-fresh produce. Every single donation helps us feed our rescued animals and keep our amazing social enrichment programs running for children and adults of all abilities.
And yes Cupcake the cow will be here mooing welcomes!

Bring your lunch and enjoy the surroundings! |

“Come enjoy a fun, county-fair style day with a delicious BBQ lunch! Explore our brand-new learning center, meet and cuddle our friendly little farm animals, and enjoy hands-on activities in the garden and play area. For those feeling adventurous, take a short scenic hike down to the lower pastures to visit the pigs and our gentle longhorn mama cows.” |
Farm toursWe understand that sometimes children and adults diagnosed with Autism and other related disabilities may have sensory challenges, phobias, inappropriate behaviors and safety concerns which may make having a farm adventure a bit harder than just your average walk in the park.
Visits are designed for a group’s specific needs designed so that individuals could choose the extent to which they participated in activities and are able to experience them at their own pace. |
