Announcement
Believing it prudent to water fertile ground, Deaf EcoFarm has formally voted to dissolve. Remaining assets are being donated to Rochester Deaf Kitchen's Community Farm program. We believe this decision is the best way to honor our mission. We remain committed to the dream personally and collectively.
Cultivating connection in sign language
Mission
Deaf EcoFarm’s mission is to nourish the Deaf community* through hands-on environmental education, agriculture, and community-based stewardship that cultivates connection to nature and each other.
*Deaf community: An all-encompassing term that includes Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, hard-of-hearing, CODAs, ASL interpreters, and the signing community.
We envision...
an interconnected Deaf community* that flourishes within a thriving ecosystem.
