Nestled on 21 acres with animals, gardens, and an apple orchard, the farm blends purpose with nature, offering programs that build skills, confidence, and connection. Here, participants grow alongside crops, creating a welcoming space where everyone belongs.
21 Roots Farm centers agricultural experiences that build skills, confidence, and connection for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Daily routines include caring for crops, animals, and preparing products for the community. The farm emphasizes supportive environments, time in nature, and inclusive programs that honor individual dignity and choice.
The farm operates the Agriculture Institute, offering hands-on agricultural experiences, and the Work Experience Program, which provides personalized opportunities for IDD adults. Summer programs include Wednesday Workshops, Farm Enrichment Days, and a Community Garden open to all ages. Seasonal events like the Apple Picking & Harvest Festival and Winter Market allow visitors to engage with farm-made products and learn about agricultural practices.
The farm is not open to the public daily but hosts community events and family-centered programs throughout the year. These events include workshops, seasonal gatherings, and opportunities to explore the 21-acre property with its barn, apple orchard, and native prairie. Visitors are encouraged to join events for immersive experiences.
Farm-made products are available at seasonal events and community gatherings. The farm also offers a summer CSA for fresh vegetables. To purchase, attend events or sign up for the CSA through the farm's interest form.
Founded by Amy and Brittany after a 2017 visit to a Canadian farm, 21 Roots Farm was inspired by the transformative power of agriculture for people with disabilities. The name reflects the connection to Down syndrome (chromosome 21) and the deep roots of community, purpose, and growth that define the farm's mission.
The farm is part of the Care Farming Network and collaborates with local organizations to promote health, well-being, and belonging. Board members and volunteers contribute expertise, time, and resources to sustain the mission, ensuring the farm remains a welcoming space for all.
