ABOUT FARM IN THE DELL
Our Mission
At Farm in the Dell of the Red River Valley, our mission is “transforming disabilities into abilities” through purposeful work and life experiences in a community farm setting. We work closely with local families and agencies to connect individuals with purposeful work that fills their spirits, sharpens their minds, and cultivates joy. At the farm, our employees find space to discover their abilities and explore their passions.
About Our Organization
At the farm, we don’t just grow produce. At our core, we serve people with developmental disabilities – adults, young and old, who live with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down’s Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, etc. who were born with chronic conditions and were dealt a hand in life that no amount of money, hours in the field, or boxfuls of tomatoes will ever erase.
However, what we can provide for the individuals that we serve is LOVE – shown in ways as unique and diverse as our community. We show our love through a paycheck. Through prayer. Through conversations between rows of peas in the field on a sunny day. Through acceptance and friendship. Through making sure that they feel seen, heard, valued, respected, and celebrated every day on the farm.
