Dutton Farm Receives Grant from Macomb County to Expand Services for Individuals with Disabilities

Dutton Farm is pleased to announce that it has entered into a partnership with Macomb County Community Mental Health (MCCMH) to expand its services in Macomb County. In addition, MCCMH has awarded Dutton Farm a substantial grant to bolster its operating capacity in Macomb County.

The grant from MCCMH is a testament to Dutton Farm's commitment to building more inclusive communities by providing adult education and workforce development opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“Thank you MCCMH for this vote of confidence in our program.” said Jenny Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of Dutton Farm. "Dutton Farm is excited to join with other Macomb County leaders in supporting and empowering adults with disabilities to live a life of dignity, purpose and inclusion.”

The grant will facilitate the establishment of a new community space for Dutton Farm, equipped with the necessary resources to deliver the same quality programming available at their Oakland County location, allowing individuals with disabilities opportunities to explore their unique talents through horticulture and animal care, which in turn promotes independence, skill development, and community integration.

"We look forward to welcoming the residents of Macomb County in this new community space,” said Brown. "We invite everyone to get to know us through our seasonal events, and field trips or just stop in and say hi."
