Your enrollment in our CSA provides work for our special needs clients, local area classrooms, as well as summer interns who are a mixture of special needs young adults and typically developing young adults. They all learn to work together doing a wide variety of tasks, from planning what and where to grow, to starting seeds inside, planting outside and in the greenhouses, weeding, watering, harvesting, washing produce, packing up CSA shares, and more. You would be impressed with what they can accomplish together in a day!
