Our Current Program

In 2006, Special Dreams Farm received permission from William Arnold and his brother, John, to use a portion of his farm for a season of planting and harvesting both vegetables and flowers. A small number of farmers, supported by a volunteer staff, worked through the summer. Not only were their crops a success, but there were important lessons learned about organizing the work and the help required to run a small farm operation with our developmentally disabled farmers.

In 2007, Special Dreams Farm relocated to the Wolcott Learning Farm operated by the Huron-Clinton Metro Park Authority. There SDF farmers were able to care for animals and maintain a vegetable garden.
