FOUNDED IN 1996, OUR ACTIVE PEOPLE AND HEALTHY FOOD PROGRAMS PROVIDE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES THROUGH A UNIQUE HORTICULTURE APPROACH THAT USES ORGANIC AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES. INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES ALLOW PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO RECONNECT AND VALUE THE SOURCE OF THEIR FOOD AND EACH OTHER. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES DERIVE FROM COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA) PRODUCTION. OUR GROWERS, STAFF AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS CULTIVATE NUTRITIOUS VEGETABLES ON SEVEN ACRES AND THEN SELL OR DONATE THIS PRODUCE TO A DIVERSE POPULATION. ALL OF THE ABOVE PROGRAM ACTIVITIES ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH THE LENS OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. OVER 1,000 YOUTH AND ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES WERE IMPACTED BY OUR INCLUSIVE FARM-BASED PROGRAMS IN FY12. OUR VISION IS TO CREATE FERTILE GROUND TO NOURISH A HEALTHY AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY WHICH WE ACCOMPLISH THROUGH OUR MISSION AND ACTIVE PEOPLE AND HEALTHY FOOD PROGRAMS: 1. MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES GROWER PROGRAM - CUSTOMIZED EMPLOYMENT AND SKILLS TRAINING THAT FOCUSES ON THE ABILITY AND INTERESTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL. GROWER OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDE MEANINGFUL TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT, AND COMMUNITY SOCIAL INTERACTION. THESE EMPLOYEES EARN MONEY, PAY TAXES, LEARN NEW LIFE SKILLS, GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THE NATURAL WORLD, AND ENJOY A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNITY INCLUSION IN A MEANINGFUL AND THERAPEUTIC SETTING. GROWERS PLANT SEEDS, CULTIVATE CROPS AND HARVEST THE PRODUCE THAT WILL BE SOLD OR DONATED TO THE COMMUNITY. FARM ACTIVITIES ARE OFTEN ACCOMPLISHED AS GROWERS WORK ALONGSIDE VOLUNTEERS BOTH, WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES, IN THE FIELDS. RED WIGGLER GROWERS EXPERIENCE AN INCREASED SENSE OF INCLUSION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND A DECREASED SENSE OF ISOLATION. 2. EDUCATIONAL SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES EDUCATIONAL SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAM - EDUCATIONAL LESSONS ON ORGANIC FARMING METHODS AND INCLUSIVE HORTICULTURAL-BASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELDS. THIS PROGRAM IS AN APPROVED MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL (MCPS) SERVICE LEARNING SITE FOR STUDENTS. WE ALSO PROVIDE FARM TOURS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF CONSULTATIONS FOR PERSPECTIVE FARMERS, OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL COLLEGE CLASSES WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SUSTAINABLE FARM MODEL. THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES OUR GROWER IN TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES TO CONNECT WITH THE FARM. 3. COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA) PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE FRESH, LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE CSA PROGRAMS - GROWERS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ANNUALLY PLANT, GROW AND HARVEST APPROXIMATELY 25,000 POUNDS OF USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC VEGETABLES. THE PRODUCE IS THEN DISTRIBUTED TO A DIVERSE POPULATION OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY RESIDENTS. IN FY12 WE DISTRIBUTED 30% OF OUR HEALTHY PRODUCE TO LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS THROUGH OUR FARM TO GROUP HOME AND FARM TO FOOD BANK PROGRAMS. THE OTHER 70% IS AN EARNED INCOME PROGRAM THAT CREATES JOBS AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS - RED WIGGLER SERVES AS AN EXAMPLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP ON EVERY LEVEL FROM THE GROUND UP - USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC FARMING PRACTICES AND EDUCATIONAL LESSONS IN THE FIELDS, PARTNERING WITH MARYLAND NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING (M-NCPPC) FOR WETLAND & REFORESTATION HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECTS ON THE OVID HAZEN WELLS PARK AND LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED) CERTIFIED BUILDING STANDARDS.
