Website: http://www.camphillclanabogan.com

A community where adults who have difficulties caused by mental and emotional disabilities live and work together with co-workers and their children. Agriculture and horticulture are important activities for the community which adopts a biodynamic approach to both of these. Food and craft products made by the community are sold regularly in Omagh. Many festivals are celebrated socially and artistically throughout the year. The community meets for religious gatherings, but people are free to follow a church of their choice or to follow their own conscience. A cultural and artistic life is built up with music, drama and educational lectures. An introductory course prepares co-workers for their tasks in the community and an Introduction to Agriculture is offered to those working on the land. Some members of the community, both residents and co-workers, attend courses at the local technical college.
