Harvest Happiness

U-Pick Days on the Farm

Summer is on the way, and we’re already looking forward to U-Pick Days on the farm.

Survivors living at the shelter find healing and a sense of purpose in the flower fields. U-Pick Days help sustain the farm while inviting the community to share that energy.

“I loved being around all the flowers,” shares a survivor who helped the farm. “It really made me see how full of life the world is.”

Survivors earn an hourly stipend for their time and care on the farm, helping meet basic needs while finding healing in nature.

For many survivors, time on the farm becomes something they carry with them.

“When I’m working on the farm, I feel at peace,” shares another survivor. “Not only did I learn about flowers, I learned more about myself.”

Make plans for some flower picking fun this summer! Our U-Pick Season Pass includes four picks on Saturdays in August and September. Bring family and friends to introduce them to our mission. Find all the details here.
