Farming with Friends

Farming with Friends Empowering All Abilities to Grow Together!

Farming with Friends' mission is to create opportunities for people with disabilities to grow, work, and connect through farming — building friendships, purpose, and a lasting bond with the land and our community.

This is more than a farm… it’s a place where community grows 💚🌱

At Farming with Friends, every seed planted helps create opportunities for people of all abilities to learn, connect, and thrive together.

And YOU can be part of that 🌻

Today was a BIG day - New Employee Orientation! Please help us give a hearty Farming with Friends welcome to Garrett, Steve, and Tim!

They’ve officially joined the crew and are already getting their hands dirty (the good kind of dirty 😄).

We can’t wait for you to meet them. Stay tuned - we’ll be sharing more about each of them soon.

Welcome to the farm, guys!! 💚

(P.S., check out Garrett's jaunty chapeau! More on that later...)

We are so excited to share that Farming with Friends has been awarded a grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development-Diocese of Cleveland!💛

This funding will support accessibility upgrades on our farm and the expansion of our 2026 flower program.

What does that mean in real life?

It means building raised beds and creating wider, safer pathways so people of all abilities can move, work, and thrive on the farm with greater independence. It means more opportunities for individuals with disabilities to earn income, build skills, and take on leadership roles. And it means growing beautiful flowers that will be harvested, arranged, and shared with our community.

This project is about more than flowers. It is about dignity, purpose, and creating a space where everyone belongs and contributes.

We are especially proud that members of our team will help lead this work from planning to production. This is what inclusion looks like in action.

We are so grateful to CCHD and the Diocese of Cleveland for believing in this vision and investing in our community.

As we continue working toward becoming a certified provider agency, support like this helps us build a strong and sustainable foundation for the future.

If you want to be part of what we are growing, we would love to have you:

Today we’re celebrating Alex’s 2-year anniversary at Farming with Friends! 💚

We are so lucky to grow alongside Alex and to have him as such an important part of our farm community.

If you haven’t met Alex yet, this is the season to visit the farm, say hello, and see all the amazing things happening here!

🌱 What’s growing at the farm?

This week, it feels like everything we’re seeing is a reflection of our own growth, too.

The seeds and bulbs we planted last fall are coming to life (pictured here, crocus, garlic, spinach). Quiet reminders that good things take time. 💛

At the same time, our greenhouse shelves are filling up with new beginnings: flats of onions, lettuce, spinach for the farm, and 6-packs of veggies and flowers for our May 9th plant sale (https://fb.me/e/7lVtK1eZn)! 🌸

It’s a beautiful mix of past effort and future promise… and we’re feeling so grateful for both.

Here’s to a season of growth, together! 🤟

Today we welcomed our friends from Insightful Minds Community of Learning back to the farm for another season of fun, friendship, and getting our hands in the soil. 🌱💚

This is their THIRD year spending time with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their continued partnership. They join us each month to jump into real farm work - and always bring the best energy with them!

And let’s talk about dedication… it was in the 20s when they arrived this morning. 🥶❄️ Total troopers!!

Here are a few of their beautiful, happy faces. We’re so lucky to grow together! 💛

📚🌱 What’s your favorite children’s book about farming? 🌱📚

We’ve been invited to read a few farm-themed books to Old Trail School kindergarteners this spring as part of their in-depth unit on farming and agriculture… how cool is that?! We are SO excited!

Ginnette’s pick is the classic The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss — a sweet story about patience, perseverance, and believing in what you plant. 🥕

You can even read it here:

Now we want to hear from you!
What are your favorite children’s books about farming, gardening, or growing food? 🌻🌽🥬

We’d love to share a few of your favorites with the kindergarteners!
