Kerry Social Farming was founded in 2013 on principles of equality, social inclusion, voluntary community development and collaboration. The project promotes and operates social farming in Kerry as a viable option for achieving improved quality of life, greater inclusion and community networking for people with intellectual and physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries and those accessing mental health services. Kerry Social Farming is currently one of only two projects operating a voluntary model of social farming in Ireland, meaning that farmers are not paid for their time with participants.  It is a locally-led, community-based, shared service operating within our communities.
