Therapeutic Agriculture Center

Healing Through Soil. Growing Through Community.

Taylor's Gift Farm, situated atop a beautiful East Texas hill near De Kalb, combines sustainable agriculture with restorative learning programs for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities.

Community Supported Agriculture

A Shared Bounty, A Spiritual Connection

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) brings consumers and local growers together in mutual support. Members pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operations, sharing both the risks and the bountiful rewards of sustainable harvesting.

Pure Rainwater Harvesting

Our farming utilizes cistern-drawn water and water pumped from local conservation ponds, preserving vital resources.

Our Legacy

The Story of Taylor's Gift

How a caregiver's vision transformed an East Texas hillside into a community sanctuary.

August 2022

Starting With a Vision

Inspired by caring for Taylor, who has physical and developmental disabilities, we decided to build an inclusive space that provides restorative day-at-the-farm experiences.

Fall 2023

Infrastructure & Solar

Our plan was to build grid-independent infrastructure. We completed the installation of our off-grid solar arrays to power the high tunnels and well pump.

Spring 2024

Gothic High Tunnels

We completed constructing two metal Gothic High Tunnels manufactured by Zimmerman, enabling year-round cultivation of organic vegetables and wellness flora.

Summer 2024

Herd Expansion

Our Registered Texas Longhorn herd expanded to 31 cattle. We continue our focus on genetic breeding and high-quality grass-fed beef.

Dr. Joseph Graham
“Lean beef is good for you – and the key word is lean. A heart patient can eat steak every meal if it is in the right proportions. Longhorn meat, on average, contains 10 percent less saturated fat than that of other cattle. That puts lean Longhorn beef on par with skinned boneless white meat of chicken and that fact may come as a surprise to many dieticians.”
Dr. Joseph Graham

How You Can Help

Contribute to the Farm

Beginning August 2022, we have invested over 18 months of physical labor and capital to construct our off-grid systems, high tunnels, and pastures. But there is still so much to do.

By making a contribution, you directly support day-at-the-farm visits, therapeutic materials, and agricultural integration for individuals with special needs. Any support is deeply appreciated.
