Our  Programs  

1

Animal  Rescue  and  Sanctuary  

Kindred  Spirits  Care  Farm  provides  a  caring  home  for  rescued  farm  animals.    These  animals,  in  turn,  provide  endless  opportunities  for  visitors  and  volunteers  to  connect  to  other  lives  that  have  different  forms,  but  very  similar  needs  for  love,  safety,  health  and  freedom  of  choice.    The  rescued  animals  help  us  learn  patience,  compassion  and  a  renewed  wonder  with  the  miracles  of  other  living  beings.    The  animals  also  provide  a  safe  space  for  vulnerable  individuals  to  be  at  peace  in  the  presence  of  another.

Permaculture  Gardens  

Permaculture  is  all  about  learning  to  cooperate  with  nature.    Cooperation  leads  to  greater  benefits  with  fewer  costs.    At  Kindred  Spirits  Care  Farm  we  use  permaculture  design  concepts  in  the  development  of  our  gardens  where  we  grow  deliciousness  and  beauty  in  the  form  of  fruits,  veggies,  flowers  and  herbs.      These  gardens  help  connect  people  to  the  earth,  plants,  science  and  each  other.    It’s  amazing  how  weeding  rows  of  baby  lettuces  can  really  bring  people  together.  

What  is  a  Care  Farm?  At  Kindred  Spirits  Care  Farm  people  can  come  and  reconnect  to  the  earth,  animals,  nature  and  themselves.    It  is  a  place  where  plants  and  animals  are  living  in  harmony  with  nature,  doing  what  they  do  as  natural  creatures.    Traditionally,  care  farms  welcome  people  to  come  and  heal  by  participating  in  farming  activities  in  whatever  way  they  can.    The  very  act  of  participating,  being  included,  being  in  nature  and  having  a  meaningful  task  can  be  incredibly  healing.
