Passes and Membership
For members attending Green Care Farms for the full season, we are also pleased to offer a Full Season Family Pass to Andrews Farm Market and Winery! ($195+ value).
We also have pricing for single day, 3-day trials (3 weeks) and monthly passes! We organize our season into three blocks and we are flexible to accommodate the attendance that is best for your person.
Program Inclusions
An entire day in our program with more than 3:1 staffing ratio providing specialized care and including a catered lunch and seasonal produce from our garden costs less than most physiotherapy initial appointments!
A Typical Day
A typical day begins with arrival, coffee or tea, and time to settle in together. Daily tasks are discussed and shared based on the season, the group’s goals, and each member’s needs and interests.
Activities may include planting, garden care, harvesting, observation, and light hands-on work. At midday, members enjoy lunch together, often munching on produce grown or harvested on the farm.
The afternoon may include games, crafts, invited guests, hydration breaks, and low-intensity movement or relaxation. The day closes with a group reflection on what went well and what comes next.
