Our Sensory Farm is a family-run, special-needs-friendly project in southern Chesapeake, Virginia, founded by a special education teacher to create inclusive outdoor experiences for children of all abilities. Note: after five years of onsite farm programming, the farm announced it is not opening to the public, hosting onsite events, private parties, or field trips for the current season, and is transitioning to a tutoring-focused chapter. Families should confirm current offerings directly before relying on prior farm-experience descriptions.
