Forget Me Not Farm Children's Services

Since its inception in 1992, Forget Me Not Farm has helped thousands of at-risk children and youth break the cycle of abuse. Located on the grounds of the Sonoma County Humane Society, the Farm offers animal-assisted and horticultural therapeutic activities that provide a haven for children, animals, and plants to interact, bond, learn and heal. As part of our programming, children and youth from the foster care system come to the farm each week and help plant, tend, and harvest food that they can bring home with them at the end of the day.

The school’s diverse student body hails from all around the world including Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
