IN 2005, THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND DONATED THE SOLAR HOUSE TO RED WIGGLER TO PROVIDE CARETAKER HOUSING AT THE FARM AND DEMONSTRATE THE COMPATIBILITY OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF BUILDINGS IN AN AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE SOLAR HOUSE IS LEASED TO RED WIGGLER'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT A MARKET BASED RENT. 0 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS: RED WIGGLER IS A CERTIFIED ORGANIC CARE FARM WHERE PEOPLE WITH AND WITHOUT DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COME TOGETHER TO WORK, LEARN AND GROW HEALTHY FOOD. THIS MISSION IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE FOLLOWING FIVE, CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMS. 1. GROWER PROGRAM: RED WIGGLER EMPLOYS ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, PROVIDING MEANINGFUL WORK, FAIR WAGES, AND VOCATIONAL SUPPORT FOR A HISTORICALLY UNDER-EMPLOYED POPULATION. THE JOB TITLE "GROWER" EXPLAINS THE INTEGRAL ROLE PLAYED BY THESE EMPLOYEES. GROWERS ARE INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF FARMING AND DISTRIBUTION, INCLUDING PLANTING, HARVESTING, FIELD AND FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, TOOL USAGE, AND GREENHOUSE MANAGEMENT. GROWERS ARE PAIRED WITH A MENTOR AND TOGETHER THEY REVIEW 52 FARMING TASKS, DISCUSS THEIR INTERESTS, AND SET MEASURABLE AND REALISTIC GOALS FOR THE SEASON. THESE GOALS RANGE FROM BEING INTRODUCED TO A NEW FARMING TOOL SUCH AS A WIRE WEEDER, TO WRITING A RESUME. REGULAR CHECK INS BETWEEN THE MENTOR AND MENTEE PROMOTE OPEN CONVERSATION REGARDING JOB SATISFACTION AND PROGRESS ON THEIR GOALS. FORMAL MID-SEASON AND POST SEASON CHECK INS ARE ALSO SCHEDULED. THROUGH SETTING, TRACKING, AND EVALUATING ANNUAL GOALS, GROWERS STRIVE TOWARD INDEPENDENT WORK AND TAKE PRIDE IN THE PROGRESS THEY HAVE MADE. THEY GAIN A PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY AS FARMERS AND FIND MEANING IN THEIR ABILITY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE GROWING AND DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTHY FOOD. FY23 HIGHLIGHT - 100% OF GROWERS WERE INTRODUCED TO A NEW SKILL OR DEVELOPED AN EXISTING SKILL FURTHER. 2. EDUCATION PROGRAM: EDUCATION IS AT THE CORE OF ALL PROGRAMMING AT RED WIGGLER. RED WIGGLER PRIORITIZES SERVING YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES IN WAYS THAT WILL ENHANCE THEIR EDUCATION AND PERSONAL GROWTH. FY23 HIGHLIGHT - OUR TARGET PARTICIPANT TOTAL WAS 90 YOUTHS AND OUR ACTUALS WERE 202. 36% OF EDUCATION PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WERE YOUTHS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. 3. SERVICE-LEARNING PROGRAM: RED WIGGLER PROVIDES INCLUSIVE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES TO YOUTH AND ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS AT THE FARM AND ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. FY23 HIGHLIGHT - COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOLUNTEERED A TOTAL OF 3,603 HOURS. 99% OF THESE VOLUNTEERS WORKED ALONGSIDE GROWER STAFF WHILE ENGAGING IN FARM TASKS. 4. CSA PROGRAM: RED WIGGLER IS COMMITTED TO THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTHY FOOD. ADDITIONALLY, RED WIGGLER'S TRADITIONAL CSA PROGRAM PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUSIVE INTERACTIONS. FY23 HIGHLIGHTS - 51% OF OUR TOTAL VEGETABLE YIELD WAS DISTRIBUTED TO LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND 100% OF CSA PICKUPS WERE STAFFED BY A GROWER. 5. THE CARE FARMING NETWORK: THE CARE FARMING NETWORK ADVANCES THE THERAPEUTIC USE OF FARMING PRACTICES BY CONNECTING NEW AND ESTABLISHED AGRICULTURALLY BASED PROGRAMS TO BUILD CAPACITY, INCREASE QUALITY, AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THE CARE FARMING NETWORK IS A CATALYST FOR CREATING AND SHARING RESOURCES FOR CARE FARMS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. FY23 HIGHLIGHTS - WE HOSTED A CARE FARMING TOUR AT RED WIGGLER AND MADISON FIELDS, ANOTHER ESTABLISHED CARE FARM IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, REACHING OVER 20 LOCAL PARTICIPANTS. THROUGH COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH EFFORTS, WE ADDED 137 CARE FARMS TO THE ONLINE MAP AND DIRECTORY FOR A TOTAL OF 236 FARMS.
