North Carolina

The North Carolina AgrAbility Partnership is working diligently to help their young farmers be self-sustaining. Currently, there is a goat farmer that also gardens who has expressed a desire to gain an agricultural education. He has cerebral palsy.

North Carolina AgrAbility is not just helping young farmers. There is a veteran who, though diagnosed with narcolepsy, has continue to farm for the last three years. His condition is debilitating, causing him anxiety because he fears falling asleep while performing daily activities. One of several solutions for this farmer is a service dog trained for narcolepsy.
