Wheatley Farms will grow to become fully inclusive and available to people attending all AHRC Nassau Day Habilitation programs. We seek to connect people based on their shared interests in the arts and operation of a functioning farm. We invite friends and neighbors to join classes, tours, and community-related events.
We take the care of our animal friends seriously. Some of our animals include pigs, sheep, horse, ducks, chickens and bunnies. Join us as we care and nurture our beautiful animal family!
