Regenerative/Recovery Farm

"Sober farming" refers to addiction recovery programs that utilize farm-based activities and environments to support individuals in their journey to sobriety. These programs offer a combination of therapeutic benefits, including a sense of purpose, camaraderie, and meaningful work, all while providing a structured and supportive environment conducive to recovery.
