Carter's Spectrum Farm a 501c3 Non-Profit
Where Wellness Grows from the Ground Up
Founded by youth CEO and autism advocate Carter Bonas, Carter’s Spectrum Farm empowers young people and families to take control of their health through hands-on gardening, nutrition education, and farm-to-table experiences. This initiative grew from Carter’s own journey, after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, he changed his diet, lifestyle, and mindset to completely reverse his diagnosis.
🩺 A Personal Journey to Healing:
Carter didn’t just start this farm to grow vegetables, he grew it to save lives, starting with his own. Faced with a life-changing diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes at a young age, Carter made a decision: he would take charge of his health naturally. By learning how to grow his own food, cutting out processed sugars, and embracing a clean, plant-powered lifestyle, he was able to reverse his condition—no medication needed.
Now, through Carter’s Spectrum Farm, he shares those same tools and habits with other children and adults who are struggling with diabetes, obesity, or poor nutrition.
