BENEFITING: FRIENDS OF AUTISTIC PEOPLE
THE STORY:
FAP is planning to create a Farm Living and Learning Academy in Southwestern Connecticut that will support a community of people with classic Autism who wish to learn farming and live in a relaxed rural environment. It will also provide employment opportunities for some higher functioning individuals on the autism spectrum.
The "student farmers" will experience growing crops, raising animals, working with their hands and creating craft products.
The idea is not new. It is a proven concept as there are already a few very successful such farms in Europe and in a few states in the US.
We are currently in the capital fund raising stage of the project. We need $2 million to get the project started. We have a fully developed business plan that we can share with potential substantial donors
