Lower Salford Township, off Route 113 via Groff's Mill Road, just past the Freeman Schoolhouse Road steel bridge over Branch Creek. Its primary purpose is to provide horticultural therapy to adults with developmental disabilities. It also produces food for several group homes and provides agro-ecological education outreach for the community.
Volunteers can help in all phases of the work.
The farm's 40 acres include the cultivated beds of ICCF, pasture meadow, hay field, a year-round stream, sloping woodland, residence for neighbors and a group home, yard, accessible flower beds and rented farmland. We use only manual tools and natural products in biodiverse plantings of vegetables, flowers and herbs. This mixture provides a range of sensory stimulation within a peaceful atmosphere, with special attention given to fragrance, taste, color and texture. A shaded picnic table and benches provide restful places from which to enjoy watching or interacting with the garden. Horticultural therapy sessions for three day-program groups at Indian Creek Industries began in September 1998.
