Our Holistic Approach
We believe in a holistic approach
to building character and forging family,
where natural farm life
fosters organic growth.
Organic Growth
Many organizations offer housing, work, or mentorship to teens aging out of care, but My Family’s Farm envisions something deeper. A farm provides what traditional programs cannot—organic growth.
​
For young adults who've been in and out of the system, the last thing they need is another directive or program. My Family’s Farm offers a home where these needs are met naturally, not compartmentalized into separate services. Here, they find stability, purpose, and community in one place.
Cultivating Character
On a farm, everyone has a role and a shared purpose within a community that depends on each other.
Harvesting food you’ve grown brings a sense of accomplishment, building confidence through small victories.
​
When things go wrong—as they often do—you learn resilience, problem-solving, and persistence.
These are life skills teens gain naturally on a farm, preparing them for adulthood.
Growing Family
Trust and love don’t grow overnight—they must be cultivated, like everything on a farm.
Relationships begin as you work together, whether it’s bottle-feeding a calf or setting up for an event. Daily routines provide the consistency that nurtures stability, allowing trust to take root.
Over time, trust may grow into love and, one day, into family.
