When I tell you I felt the LOVE from the moment I stepped out of the car through to the moment I left, is not an understatement. The beauty of the property, the care for the many animals. The many things to do for people of every ability is awesome. It's part animal sanctuary, part vegetable farm and part love fest- The Root Farm grows and nourishes as many people souls as they do animals and produce.
The Clydesdale horse is one of the most elegant and beautiful in the world. A few of the rarest breed of Clydesdales made a stop in Sauquoit, NY. The Utica Branch of Express Employment Professionals was able to team up with UCP's The Root Farm to bring these majestic animals to town.
What was an open field is rapidly becoming one of the biggest equine therapy center in the northeast!

On the day before Upstate Cerebral Palsy's 65th anniversary, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for the brand new Root Farm on King Road in Sauquoit. The Root Farm when completed will be one of the largest equine therapy facilities in the Northeast.
