ABOUT US
The concept of Farmabilities had been in the thoughts of its founder, Kimberly Gannon for nearly 10 years. Her son, Liam was diagnosed with Autism when only 4 years old. As a mother seeking solutions on how to best provide a meaningful life and purpose for her son, she soon realized opportunities were limited. Kimberly recognized the opportunity to build something for her son’s benefit and the benefit of the community as well.
To contribute to a larger purpose lends value to life and builds individual self-worth. All of us endeavor to achieve such goals within our own individual capacity.
In our “God-given” role as parents, loving and raising a disabled child, it became readily apparent to Kimberly that Liam’s future and quality of life was wholly dependent on his parents. The statement holds true of every parent but when your child is disabled, the stark reality of it is uncompromising. In facing this reality she vowed to be relentless in the pursuit to discover her son’s individual purpose.
Each of us hope to be happy and to find it in ways by which we are best suited. Farmabilities exists to aid a special group among in their efforts to contribute, be of value and know self-worth. Through our 250 year old farm house and acreage, Farmabilities will focus on producing basic and simple agricultural goods for the public at large.
