Gracy Belle has started several nonprofits (and already had an established board of directors in place), yet had specific questions related to care farming.&nbsp; During our conversation, we helped identify and prioritize her needs, which included talking through&nbsp;<strong>fundraising efforts, creating a website &amp; social media presence, and finding the right people to help implement her ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Care Farming Network&#8217;s main goals is connecting members and finding ways we can support and help each other. Back in Maryland, we heard that our friend Kate McDowell, Farm Manager at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afarmlessordinary.org\/\">A Farm Less Ordinary<\/a>, was moving back to her home state of Texas. This is why we made sure that Kate and Gracy knew about each other\u2026 and we\u2019re elated to hear that Kate is now working to help get Hearthfire Farm off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Congratulations, Hearthfire Farm, on your ribbon cutting and beautiful new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hearthfirefarm.org\/home\">website<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/carefarmingnetwork.org\/consultations\/\">Learn More About Consultations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_3430\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carefarmingnetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hearthfire-Farm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carefarmingnetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hearthfire-Farm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3430\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gracy Belle cutting the ribbon at Hearthfire Farm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Care Farming Network provides expert advice and guidance on how to start, build, and grow a care farm.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our consultants&nbsp;have more than 30+ years of experience in care farming leadership.&nbsp; We love talking to folks, whether you are in the idea phase or are an established care farm needing support with a specific question or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1813,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[10,51,52,27],"class_list":["post-705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-care-farming-network-updates","tag-autism-idd","tag-consultation","tag-hearthfire-farm","tag-trauma-informed-therapy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
