Founded in 1996, Red Wiggler now serves over 1,900 community members, has a 120-share CSA program, distributes 50% of organic produce to low-income households through our Farm to Group Home and Farm to Food Bank programs, employs 15 adults with developmental disabilities, and regularly hosts field trips and volunteers. <a href=\"https:\/\/redwiggler.org\/\">Learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Little Otter Flower Farm<\/strong> (Virginia) is a small family farm started for son Max, who has Autism. A flower farm fits with the family\u2019s love of being outdoors, their desire to be part of a community, and tasks that match Max\u2019s strengths. Little Otter sells its flowers online and at a local farmers market, and it offers a \u201cRandom Act of Kindness\u201d option through which anyone anywhere can purchase flowers as a gift to be locally delivered. <a href=\"https:\/\/littleotterflowerfarm.com\/\">Learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vertical Harvest<\/strong> (Wyoming) energizes local food systems via hydroponic, vertical, controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) to deliver healthier food and futures. We work with communities to develop underutilized space in urban, underserved neighborhoods, grow \u201cup\u201d on a fraction of the land required by traditional agriculture, while using 85% less water to deliver our produce at peak flavor and nutrition, year-round. We use an inclusive employment model currently focused on individuals with physical and\/or intellectual disabilities. <a href=\"https:\/\/verticalharvestfarms.com\/\">Learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2822,"template":"","tags":[10,29,108,31,39,33,35],"topic":[80],"class_list":["post-694","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-autism-idd","tag-employment","tag-learning-webinars","tag-little-otter-flower-farm","tag-red-wiggler-care-farm","tag-vegetable-production","tag-vertical-harvest-farm","topic-adaptive-farming-resources"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Adaptive Farm Strategies - Care Farming Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.carefarmingnetwork.org\/resource\/adaptive-farm-strategies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Adaptive Farm Strategies - Care Farming Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this webinar, member care farms discussed the adaptive farm tools and techniques they use to operate neurodiverse-inclusive farms.
