The Upside of Downs at Mulberry Lane Farm
Here on the small farm, a big mission grows - as the horizon brightens for differently-abled farmers
About us
The Upside of Downs is now headquartered on Mulberry Lane Farm outside a small southern California town. Here on the small farm a big mission grows - as the horizon brightens for the participating differently-abled farmers. Here on the farm, our day program volunteers in the Up on the Farm program participate in agricultural hands-on, hearts-in experiential learning. They learn new skills, old-fashioned methods, and interact in meaningful, productive ways with each other and with nature. There is no participation fee and each special farmer is accompanied by his/her caregiver, parent, or job coach. Along with all hands-on, hearts-in aspects of the farm, the Up on the Farm crews also operate a little seed shop they helped create called the Bright Horizon Seeds company. The small on-line seed shop on Etsy (link below) is where the crews share newly-learned skills and hone others - seed harvesting, seed saving, gleaning, cleaning, counting, packaging, and mailing seeds from various rare and tropical trees and flowers they’ve found on the 6 acres of Mulberry Lane Farm.
Making a purchase from their little on-line seed shop creates an uplifting wind beneath their wings - the crews love sharing the results of their hard work - lots of smiles are created in the Bright Horizon Seeds shop! And lots of beautiful and unusual plants and trees are created in new garden homes throughout the country!
