The mission of Bittersweet Farms is to positively impact the lives of individuals with autism and those whose lives they touch.
Bittersweet engages in a model which employs meaning and motivation, aerobic activity, partnership and planning, and structure and support. This provides a community of interdependence and a holistic and healthy environment in which the potential of each participant is envisioned and developed. Every interaction is a lesson in reciprocal communication, relationship building, and mutual cooperation between staff and participant.
Join Our Team!
In 1983, Bittersweet Farms became the first farmstead-based program for adults with autism in the United States. As our mission continues to grow, we are seeking dedicated, compassionate individuals to join our world-renowned team!
