Social Care Farming offers a natural path to better quality of life outcomes for multiple populations. Although it has yet to be recognized as a viable arm of the healthcare machine, there are studies from across the globe that speak to its’ physical, mental, social, moral, and economic success. Rebecca Sorensen, from Blawesome, LLC, a social care farm in western Orange County, will engage participants in a conversation around the possibility of drawing together social service delivery systems with small scale agricultural enterprises to promote positive health, vocational diversity, and inclusive communities.
