Empowering neurodivergent young adults through experiential learning and holistic development within a supportive farm setting.
Learning 4 Life Farm is a 7-acre farm in Johnstown, Ohio with numerous gardens, 6 curious alpacas, 2 friendly barn cats, and 2 cuddly bunnies. Our programs are now available to the community! Learning 4 Life Farm currently offers programs designed to develop job skill and social skill development for Neurodivergent youth and young adults. The Learning 4 Life Farm is overseen by a Board of Directors.
Grow with us
Since 2019, students on the autism spectrum, staff, volunteers and community members have worked to create our facility for job and social skills training. Today, our farm features vegetable and flower gardens, greenhouses, rain gardens and pollinator habitat, a barn and fenced pastures for our alpacas. Help grow our farm for youth on the autism spectrum and related disabilities!
The Need
Students with autism graduate without work and life skills: 85% of young adults with autism are underemployed. Our program seeks to change that.

With a sound financial base, we provide a farm-based community for our participants and their families and supporters.
