🤝 A Personal Pledge: Closing the Accessibility Hunger Gap

Right now, millions are struggling due to SNAP cuts and government furloughs. But for the homebound, the crisis is even worse: many essential food pantries are completely inaccessible.

We will deliver complete, nutritious meals—and dignity—directly to those with access and mobility needs.

Healing By Growing Farms (HBG) in East Haven is a beautiful, fully accessible suburban farm offering green therapy to people with disabilities and trauma survivors. We also donate organic produce, herbs, and eggs to neighbors who can’t access food pantries due to illness, disability, or lack of resources. One visitor called the farm “a sanctuary… a healing, loving space!”

Our small greenhouse—home to crops and tropical plants like citrus, dragonfruit, and avocado—is now at risk. The electricity system has failed, leaving thousands of dollars’ worth of plants vulnerable this fall.

We urgently need a cost-effective solar heating system to protect the plants and ensure continuous healing for our patients. Solar energy will help us promote sustainability, cut fossil fuel use, and save long-term costs—strengthening our mission to provide free therapeutic and food access programs.

Recent budget cuts have left us without USDA support, so any contribution makes a difference. Even a few dollars can help save our crops, sustain our programs, and continue healing our community.

Thank you for supporting our mission! 🌱

We See You:

Respite and Support During our Government Influx & Shutdown at Healing By Growing Farms!

If the ongoing government influx and shutdown has left you feeling persecuted, depleted, or deeply sad—whether you are a student, an elder, a survivor, or someone managing trauma or a disability—please know that your struggle is valid.

When the world feels uncertain and hostile, finding a moment of spiritual connection, peace, connectedness, growth and respite is essential.

Our Free Invitation to Semillas! A place for Connection & Unity

We at Healing By Growing Farms want to offer you a genuine break. We are still open for the season, and you are invited to schedule a visit to the farm completely free of charge.

• Respite: Please schedule your visit to spend time with our gentle feathered and furry animals.

• Connection: Enjoy the quiet of the shoreline and our last seasonal crops remaining on the vines.

• Rest: Even a few minutes of fresh air and quiet can help ground you when things feel heavy.

For those that can’t make it to the farm - Introducing the Semillas (Seeds) Sanctuary Remote Support Group

Which we are actively organizing.

Our goal is to create a safe, accessible for all abilities and a protected space where you can share your feelings of distress and isolation and receive positive, mutual encouragement, support and prayer for those interested from others who understand.

How to Reach Out
If you need a moment of peace, or if you are interested in joining the Semillas group, please reach out to us today.

Fill out the simple online contact form at healingbygrowing.com.

To ensure we prioritize your message immediately, please use the required heading:

We are here for you. Stay safe and encouraged!
