The Root Farm, a picturesque farm in Sauquoit, NY provides several outdoor recreation programs for people of all ability levels including equine lessons, agricultural programs, swimming and a brand new state of the art high and low challenge course which includes an entire section adapted to meet the needs of those with and without disabilities. Other projects that are ongoing at the Root Farm include a 1,000 foot zip-line, group camping areas, chicken coups, and an accessible trail system that will run the border of the Root Farm property. The Root Farm also provides 4 All-terrain track chairs which allow a person who uses a wheelchair to access the more rugged and hilly areas of the property. Currently, the Root Farm is partnering with the Inclusive Recreation Resource Center during the youth inclusion project to enhance their capacity to serve children of all ability levels by participating in mentored inclusion coaching and on-going follow-up and feedback.
