In this episode of the We’re Good Podcast, host Lee Ann Necessary Brownlee visits A Farm Less Ordinary in Loudoun County, Virginia—where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities find more than work; they find purpose and belonging.

Born from one family’s response to their son’s autism, the farm is transforming lives through work and community. From fields and greenhouses to dreams of nationwide jam sales, this powerful story reveals what’s possible when an inclusive workplace builds confidence, sparks joy, and creates a community where everyone feels they belong.
