Mission: Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm is a nonprofit care farm where people, animals, and the earth work together for mutual healing. Care farming (also known as green care, farm care, or farming for health), is well established in Europe, but is a relatively new concept in the United States. For more information, please visit us on the Web at www. SanctuaryOne. org.

Programs: Sanctuary one helps people of all ages have the opportunity to volunteer on a real working farm and experience nature’s healing power firsthand. We offer educational tours that open people’s hearts and minds. We invite groups from schools and youth-serving nonprofit organizations to visit the farm for fresh air, exercise and hands-on service-learning. We mentor interns who dream of becoming the next generation of care farmers. We promote the ethics of mindful, sustainable living. And we provide a safe, loving home to rescued farm animals and house pets. Benefits of Care Farms are wide ranging for people, and at Sanctuary One, we ensure healing is mutual, for people and animals and the earth.
