About

Madison Fields is a neuro-inclusive, community-powered agricultural & equine resource center located in Montgomery County, Maryland. Our programs prioritize health & wellness, building community, and providing life-affirming opportunities to participate. This historic 400-acre farm is dedicated to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who too often find themselves on the margins. We invite members of the community to join us, reconnect with the natural environment and form relationships with others who have diverse interests and abilities.

Programs

Equine-Assisted Activities & Therapies (EAAT)

The EAAT Program aims to improve participants’ quality of life by fostering a healing relationship with therapy horses through activities that expand physical, cognitive, and emotional resilience. We offer both mounted and unmounted opportunities in sessions scheduled throughout the year. We serve people of all ages with a variety of support needs including those with autism, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, and traumatic brain injury.
LEARN MORE

Job Readiness

This program provides structured opportunities for adults with differences in ability to discover interests in agriculture, expand their knowledge, gain experience, and develop skills that will assist them as they explore the possibility of future employment. In addition to specific farm-based hard skills, participants learn soft skills like teamwork, communication, flexibility with tasks, problem-solving and self-management.
LEARN MORE

Agricultural Education

As a proud member of the Agricultural Reserve in Montgomery County Maryland, we share a commitment to the preservation of rural space and respect for the environment. Madison Fields provides an ideal setting for students of all ages to learn about our interdependence with nature and the vital role that agriculture and diversity plays in the flourishing of life. We provide our guests with a variety of outdoor activities and educational instruction.
LEARN MORE

Volunteer Program

We offer a robust volunteer program with a wide variety of opportunities for both individuals and groups who would like to offer their time and talents to move our mission forward. Volunteers support our programs, maintain the grounds, and ensure the success of our farm-based enterprises. Working side-by-side with those with disabilities to accomplish the goals of a volunteer project reveals the talents and abilities that our population has to contribute.
