Our services have reopened!
After a year and a half of closure due to covid limitations we are delighted to announce that we are operating once again as usual.
Having lost some of our key facilities it’s been a challenging year in several aspects. However, with the correct precautions and a few minor changes we’ve been able to adapt our programme to offer it once again.
It’s been a joy to welcome our previous participants back to the garden and we also look forward to meeting some new faces so if you have interest or questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We provide a meaningful, creative and fun day service for adults with a learning disability, autism or Aspergers each Tuesday at the Findhorn Ecovillage, Moray, Scotland.

Through the creation of a healthy daily structure at our community garden project, we build participants’ confidence and help to develop their social and practical skills (while having lots of fun along the way). We also offer a variety of creative sessions each afternoon to support the expansion of participants’ experiences in addition to their integration into the Findhorn Ecovillage Community.
To find out more about our service see below or click here. Alternatively, you can contact us directly (telephone 07856 965403 or email: carefarm@findhorn.org) to find out more and see if our service is suitable for the person you support.
We are able to offer services to those with a Self-Directed Support budget.
Panel 1
Our day service at Findhorn Bay Care Farm runs each Tuesday, 46 weeks of the year. We welcome adults with a learning disability, autism or Aspergers to join us at the Findhorn Ecovillage to share their many gifts with those around them and to help build our community.
