MACOPIN FARM is now a DDD Provider for NJ residents enrolled in the Supports Program!

MACOPIN FARM is now a PREVOCATIONAL TRAINING DDD Provider for NJ residents enrolled in the Supports Program!  DDD is the Division of Developmentally Disabled and all adults 21 or over enrolled in the Supports Program are eligible to sign up for some one on one interaction with the farm animals based on their abilities and will cater their times to the individual needs of the applicants.

This is a great way to get some hands on farm experience and valuable memories to treasure.  It is also great therapy and good for the soul while building self confidence and bonding with some animals too.  Contact me for more.  People who are noise sensitive or afraid of animals should not apply as the roosters are noisy and there are a lot of animals.  Look forward to hearing from you so spread the word!

The adult male with autism who has been coming for over a year just loves interacting with the animals but I think his favorite is Harvey the alpaca! They have a special bond!
