Welcome to Abled Acres

Imagine a place where spinal cord injury (SCI) survivors and the wider community come together to nurture hope, creativity, and sustainable agriculture. At Abled Acres, every bed will be raised for accessibility, every tool will be adapted for independence, and every person is invited to be part of something greater than a typical farm. Our land becomes a catalyst for growth, healing, and shared purpose—proving that when we remove barriers, new possibilities bloom.
Able Acres is built on the philosophy that inclusion is not just good ethics—it’s good business.

Our Workshops

We’re still in the visioning stage at Abled Acres, and our future workshops will be a key part of our immersive retreats and community events. Planned offerings will range from adaptive art therapy sessions to hands-on farming lessons, designed to equip you with practical skills and foster creative expression. SCI survivors and community members alike will be invited to explore topics such as seed starting, sustainable growing techniques, painting, ceramics, and more—all in a fully accessible setting. Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge of inclusive agriculture or simply tap into your creative side, our future programs will provide a safe, supportive space to learn, heal, and grow together.

Holistic Healing & Peer Mentorship

At Abled Acres, we believe that true growth extends beyond the physical. Although our farm is still in the planning stages, our vision is already coming to life through online and event-based mindfulness sessions, creative workshops, and therapeutic activities. We’re starting now with engaging virtual programs and community events that emphasize mindfulness, creative expression, and hands-on learning. Our goal is to build a future space where participants can come together to explore nature-based activities, art workshops, and peer-to-peer connections that nurture both body and mind. Join us on this exciting journey as we lay the groundwork for an inclusive, adaptive community that will one day call Abled Acres home.

On-Site Produce Sales & CSA Boxes

Enjoy fresh, naturally grown produce through our future U-Pick experience and CSA boxes—planned once we secure funding and build our farm. In our vision, guests will be able to visit the farm to pick seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs, or subscribe to receive a weekly or bi-weekly share delivered right to your door, complete with recipe ideas and farm updates. Every purchase will directly support our mission by funding adaptive equipment, educational initiatives, and continuous improvements as we work to create Abled Acres—a welcoming space for everyone. It’s a delicious, community-driven way to invest in inclusive agriculture.

Community Gatherings

From seasonal festivals to family-friendly volunteer days, Abled Acres has exciting plans to offer a variety of community-building events throughout the year—once we secure funding for land and begin building our farm. These future gatherings will provide an opportunity for neighbors, friends, and visitors to come together, celebrate local produce, and learn about inclusive farming. Expect live demonstrations, fun competitions, pop-up markets, and plenty of chances to connect with SCI survivors and allies who will help shape the heart and soul of Abled Acres.

Experience a sneak peek into our future vision of inclusive agriculture with our planned guided farm tours. While our farm is still under development, we’re working to create an environment where adaptive tools, raised beds, and barrier-free pathways make it possible for everyone—regardless of physical ability—to actively participate in daily farm operations. In our future tours, you’ll get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our innovative greenhouse designs, sustainable harvesting methods, and the adaptive features we’re building to make Abled Acres a truly welcoming space. Join us on this exciting journey as we work toward a sustainable, inclusive, and community-driven agricultural model.

“Abled Acres is a one-of-a-kind farm that brings together people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and physical disabilities to show what’s possible.
We’re building a place where folks can reconnect with purpose through adaptive farming, learn new skills, and just enjoy life. Whether it’s growing fresh produce, learning hands-on workshops, or joining a weekend retreat to recharge, Able Acres is about independence, community, and growth.

The best part? It’s not just about doing good—it’s about building a sustainable business, too. At Able Acres, we’re proving that purpose and profit can grow side by side.”
