Our Story
Why Rain Lily?
We chose the name Rain Lily Farms because of the powerful symbolism carried by the rain lily itself. These delicate flowers lie dormant until the rain comes—then, almost overnight, they bloom with quiet resilience and beauty. For us, the rain lily represents the survivors we serve: strong, patient, and ready to flourish when nurtured with care. Just as the rain lily responds to nature’s invitation, our farm offers a healing environment where growth is possible, even after the storm.
Rain Lily Farms is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering survivors of abuse, adversity, and human trafficking through healing, community, and growth. Our mission is rooted in the belief that food, farming, and education can be powerful tools for restoration and resilience. Our signature programs include the Food & Feelings curriculum, a trauma-informed series that helps participants explore the connection between nutrition, emotional wellness, and self-expression, and Roots of Resilience: Healing Through Farming and Food Education, which provides hands-on training in gardening, sustainable agriculture, and food literacy. While our long-term vision includes housing, a farm-to-table café, and a community gift shop, our current work focuses on providing immediate opportunities for healing and growth through therapeutic farming and education.
