Description:
Left Foot Organics operates an organic market garden on about five acres, producing a variety of certified organic seasonal vegetables and flowers for sale in local markets. We grow over 50 varieties of vegetables, from arugula to zucchini. We also have eggs from our free range flock. As we expand, we plan to add more crops, plants, and small livestock with the objective of working up to twenty-five acres over time. We offer CSA subscriptions for supporters who are willing to help us "earn while we learn" and keep Left Foot growing.

Left Foot provides part time, paid employment year round for 10 growers. We work with individuals at varying developmental levels, with special emphasis on those who are most difficult to serve. Our Growing Partners program, which offers an inclusive workplace experience for rural youth, now includes year round paid employment and enrichment activities. Volunteer, internship and other training opportunities are also available throughout the year. Everyone works together on the farm regardless of their particular abilities or disabilities, supporting, teaching, and learning from each other. Our long-term goal is to become a model horticultural therapy program and community resource, providing year-round employment, volunteer and training opportunities for all who share our vision.
