  There’s something about gardening and rehabilitation playing in the soil re-grounds you to your childhood roots of playing in the mud. Pure healing

  The people who make it out of the drug/alcohol addicted world, are people that have a Solid PURPOSE, one that MUST consume them, a healthy PURPOSE. &nbsp; I watched my daughter, an addict, struggle with her addiction for 20 plus years, on and off. &nbsp;She had 5 daughters, &nbsp;they were her priority and PURPOSE. <br>She is sober now for 5 years. &nbsp; Her daughters keep her alive. <br>God Bless everyone who struggles 🙏

  People need connection, a reason to be and something to do that gives them meaning. This farm checks all those boxes, what a beautiful place.
