We are a farm, a community, and a tribe. And we are part of a movement to create meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual, developmental, and cognitive disabilities. Help us get people out of their houses and into paying, meaningful jobs. Help us give individuals with disabilities the support they need and the respect they deserve as contributing members of our society and…the producers of your food.

We use farming to encourage employability skills.

Our employees (Growers) learn many different employment and farming skills, like:

  • coming prepared to work

  • clocking in & clocking out

  • taking direction and working as a team

  • using different tools

  • plant and weed management

  • harvesting and food preservation skills
