St. Anthony Farm

Part of the St. Anthony Foundation, St. Anthony Farm

... provides a free residential drug and alcohol recovery program for 28 men and 14 women. On a 315-acre farm outside of Petaluma, participants have the opportunity to address destructive patterns in their lives while in a safe, supportive, and structured environment. Through a routine that consists of work, recreation, education, solitude and peer feedback, participants are both challenged and supported to take personal responsibility for their lives. Program participants work in an organic garden, on the grounds crew, in the facility kitchen, or in the commercial dairy while participating in a social model 12-step based rehabilitation program.

Plus, they are organic dairy farmers:

The work component of the Farm is vital to the recovery process. More than 250 cows are milked twice daily at the organic dairy, producing over 1800 gallons of organic milk that are sold commercially to Clover-Stornetta.
and organic gardeners:

Participants also have the opportunity to work in an organic garden that was developed in 1993. The 1-acre garden produces fresh vegetables and fruit for Farm residents, St. Anthony's other residential programs in San Francisco and local free food programs. The therapeutic value of weeding, sowing, planting, harvesting and feasting greatly enhances the quality of the recovery program at the Farm.
