]]> Voices of the Network: 2025–2026 Farm to Institution Webinar Series

Care Farms are pioneers in integrating therapeutic farming practices with social care, providing innovative, holistic support to individuals with diverse needs. By integrating agricultural activities with therapeutic interventions, social support, skill development, and meaningful engagement with nature, care farms present a unique business model, and are often actively seeking to sell to institutions. In this webinar hosted by Farm to Institution New England and the Care Farming Network, hear from organizers and care farmers who are pioneering inclusive, supportive spaces on farms, where growers of all abilities, backgrounds, and life experiences are not only welcomed but given the opportunity to thrive.  They’ll share about their unique models, how they got started, and their successes and challenges. Registration link here!

]]> Funding is one of the biggest hurdles for aspiring care farmers. In this session, we’ll explore practical fundraising strategies- from grants and individual donors to partnerships and earned income- while highlighting real-world examples of how care farms across the country are sustaining and growing their work.

We’ll be joined by Nora Venezky, Development Director at Homesteads for Hope, where she has worked since January 2024, first as a grant writer before stepping into her current role in 2025. She previously served as Executive Director at several small museums across the country, including the Greenbrier Historical Society in Lewisburg, WV, and the Seneca Museum of Waterways and Industry in Seneca Falls, NY. Nora is also the President of the Small Museum Association and is thrilled to now be part of the care farming movement, building inclusive opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
