Orkestai Farm Inc
To promote the creative participation in society of those differently abled, through ecological agriculture and expressive arts.
Since our inception we have created opportunities for people of All Abilities to be impactful within our local food system and community. For our Farmers of All Abilities and their loved ones, we have tried to address the issue of ‘aging out' of the school system, which often leads to lack of support services, isolation and fear for the future given the difficulties of living with a (dis)ability. At Orkestai our community tends to a no-till garden, pastured poultry, does yoga and other movement exercises and enjoys culinary and art projects. During Overwintering, we spend more time the forest, connecting with nature through shelter building, firemaking, wildlife tracking and more. Donations support our programmming, allowing us to provide year-round wholesome opportunities to be in nature, creating and growing in community.
