About the Program: 

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. 

We are currently building an outdoor snack/kitchen area that we will use to demonstrait how to prepare healthy, nutrious meals using fresh, organic vegetables and fruits that we grow with the children! 

We are also developing a farm stand in which some of our teens will sell our produce to staff and volunteers of the Sonoma Humane Society.
