Woody Woodroof started the Red Wiggler Farm in Germantown, Md. in 1996 to create meaningful jobs in an inclusive environment.
A portion of the vegetables they grow are distributed to community members in low-income households, as well as to adults with developmental disabilities.
The employees getting Red Wiggler Farm ready for spring are proud of their work. Which is why they say they want to see more opportunities afforded to people like themselves.
Red Wiggler will present in D.C. this week at Kennedy Krieger's conference on neurodiversity — with the goal to promote the hiring of people with disabilities.
Kennedy Krieger's conference is the perfect platform to inform people of what Ruch already knows.
