Social Care Farming

Care farming is a therapeutic practice that involves the use of farming activities to provide health, social, and educational benefits to individuals. It integrates agricultural work with structured support services to help people improve their mental health, well-being, and social skills. Participants, often referred to as clients or service users, may engage in a variety of farming tasks such as planting, animal care, and harvesting. These activities are designed to be therapeutic and rehabilitative, promoting physical activity, social interaction, and a connection to nature.
