    Our Clients

    Florida AgrAbility serves clients and their families by helping to restore their independence through direct assistance at no cost to the farmer. Direct assistance provided by the Florida AgrAbility program presents in many forms such as farm site visits, recommendations for modifying equipment/obtaining newer technology, securing financial assistance, access to educational resources, and more.

    "Florida AgrAbility is very important to farmers - Not only so that farmers in Florida have the ability to continue what they're doing and have the support to keep going with their careers, but we want to be independent, and we want to keep doing the things that we love doing, and Florida AgrAbility - that partnership for me personally, I am looking forward to just having the physical support and the modifications I need in order to keep doing what I love."

    "Knowing that these programs are out there, that you can go to.. sometimes just a little bit of assistance is all that it takes for you to get through a hard time... It (Florida AgrAbility) is a great program; we are so glad that they were able to be there for us, and I hope that it will be there in the future."

    "As an 81-year-old farmer, I have really appreciated the benefits of Florida AgrAbility. Due to the Florida AgrAbility program, I have been able to do things that I would otherwise not have done. The hurricanes really were devastating, so it has been a great help from Florida AgrAbility to be able to do all of this and maybe be able to show a better way to grow citrus."
