Brandon and the Mower

Today is the start of the 2021 National Horticultural Therapy Week! As a Social Care Farm, Red Wiggler Community Farm believes in the healing power of farming, gardening, and nature; and we have seen how it can change people’s lives. Check out this video of one of our Growers, Brandon, and his experience with the lawn mower. Brandon is a pro now with the mower and feels proud of his work.

Our Story

Red Wiggler Community Farm is a sustainable farm and recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides meaningful employment and healthy food for adults with developmental disabilities (our “Growers”). Although Red Wiggler has grown significantly since its founding in 1996, our vision of inclusion has remained the same. From day 1, we have been focused on linking customers to Growers with developmental disabilities through the business of growing and selling high-quality, home-grown, organic vegetables. Today, Red Wiggler is a sustainable farm where people with and without developmental disabilities come together to work, learn, and grow healthy food.
