The mission of 3 Bluebirds Farm, an agritourism site, is to create an inclusive, environmentally sustainable agricultural community of choice in Raleigh, NC, where individuals on the autism spectrum can participate in farm activities with dignity, understanding and support.
The mission of Camp Bluebird is to nurture each child on the autism spectrum as a whole: emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually; encouraging exploration and appreciation of the world around them while growing through play on a farm setting. We focus on three primary objectives: Social skills, play skills, and life skills.

We encourage interested families to submit their applications now. Early applications will help us build our participant cohorts, staffing plans, and session availability for the coming year. Finding Balance is a year-round, farm-based program for adults with autism that focuses on social development, life skills, responsibility, emotional growth, and vocational readiness through hands-on experiences. Participants progress through themed sessions, earn Bluebird Badges, celebrate milestones, and build confidence over time. Know an adult with autism who may be looking for meaningful opportunities after high school? Our website includes additional information to help families determine whether our programs are the best match for their loved one and we'd be grateful if you shared Finding Balance with them. Learn More. https://www.3bluebirdsfarm.org/adultdaycamps Choosing the right program is important.

🐴 Friday Farm Memo from Jolene & Dolly: 🐴 “Just checking in to make sure everyone has their weekend plans sorted out. We’re thinking snacks, naps, and absolutely no emails.” Honestly, same. These two have mastered the art of the Friday mindset: lean on your best friend, look adorable, and pretend responsibilities don’t exist until Monday. 💁‍♀️ Happy Friday from the unofficial Directors of Relaxation at 3 Bluebirds Farm! 💙

🌿💙 Finding Balance is about more than finding our way around the farm—it’s about finding connection, confidence, and community along the journey. Every step through the gates brings opportunities to build social skills, foster independence, and create meaningful friendships in a supportive environment. From exploring the farm to sharing experiences with peers, our participants continue to remind us that growth happens when we feel safe, included, and encouraged. We're so proud of the friendships being built and the memories being made in Finding Balance! 🐓🌻🐴 #FindingBalance #3BluebirdsFarm #Neurodiversity #InclusiveCommunity #BuildingFriendships #LifeSkills #Belonging #GrowingTogether #FarmLifeFun

Our logo features a nest with three eggs, a simple image filled with meaning. The eggs symbolize life, hope, and the promise of what’s to come. The nest represents home, love, protection, and support, the kind of environment we strive to create for every individual we serve. Though the birds aren't pictured, they are always present in spirit. The eggs will one day hatch into bluebirds --- symbols of freedom, confidence, and the ability to take flight with independence. The three eggs are also a personal tribute to our founder’s three children, her “three bluebirds.” May our nest at 3 Bluebirds Farm be a place where families impacted by autism feel supported, seen, and ready to spread their wings. #3BluebirdsFarm #raleighnc #trianglenc #autismsupport #inclusion #communitysupport #autismawareness #autismacceptance
