Suffolk Farm Day proved to be a success for everyone involved. There were animals for everyone to enjoy at the farm. But students with Autism were also invited to join along which gave people reason to bring the whole family along for the event. About 75 parents and children were on site at the farm.

A designated quiet area was also set up for children who may feel overwhelmed, and toys were available at various stations to help them destress, said Thivierge, who helped coordinate the event.
