Allaire Community Farm

🐴🌱 In our IDD Program this week, we focused on animal care while spending time with our amazing horses!

We learned how to safely groom horses, practiced appropriate behaviors around them, and gained a better understanding of the care and responsibility that goes into working with these incredible animals. 🧡

Through this hands-on experience, we practiced safety, communication, responsibility, and animal care skills while building confidence on the farm.

Our Community Inclusion Program (S.M.A.R.T.) provides meaningful opportunities for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) to build skills, make connections, and be part of a supportive community.

While our team is staying busy keeping the animals extra hydrated and resting in the shade during this extreme heat wave, we are already looking forward to the much more comfortable weather heading our way next week! 🌤️🌾

If you are planning ahead for those cooler days and want a hands-on, screen-free way for your child (ages 7–12) to learn and grow on the farm this summer, we have two incredible weekly programs with limited spots available.
