We are excited to launch the new Care Farming Network website with online directory and resources. Our online map currently features member Care Farms who have attended a Care Farming Network event in the past. We have begun reaching out to other Care Farms across the US and are excited to see the network grow!! Help us grow the network by emailing us if you know of other Care Farms not listed on the map, or ask them to Join the Network!

A Farm Less Ordinary provides employment and a welcoming community to people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.On June 14, 2021, A Farm Less Ordinary (AFLO) held a ribbon cutting celebration for AFLO North, their new Lovettsville location in Loudoun County, VA. This was a momentous occasion for all, and the expansion of AFLO reaffirmed Red Wiggler’s and the Care Farming Network’s vision of helping others establish a Care Farm in their communities, so that there’s a Care Farm in every county across the nation.

Blawesome is owned and co-operated by a young man living with autism, Raimee. Raimee grows, cultivates, and delivers organic flowers along with the support of Blawesome’s social care farm team. Blawesome gives the community the opportunity to witness the beautiful gifts that people with disabilities have to offer, and Raimee has flourished in Blawesome’s first six years of farming, seeing himself as a valuable member of his community. Blawesome recently had a Kickstarter campaign for a much needed new van, and they reached their goal! Read more about their campaign.

COMING SOON! We will be seeking an experienced community builder and implementer with strong interpersonal skills to support the growth of the Care Farming Network by building community and increasing awareness of Care Farming. More details and how to apply coming soon! If interested, please send an email to: carefarm@redwiggler.org.

As we continue to grow the Care Farming Network, please join our Facebook page and share about the Network with other farms working for the benefit of neurodiverse individuals or individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
