People
As much as we love the vegetables, we also love the people who work hard to make Red Wiggler Community Farm the place that it is.

Seasonal Growers
Our Seasonal Growers are referred to us by agencies like Arc of Montgomery County, Community Support Services, CSAAC, Jubilee MD, Target, and SEEC-Maryland who provide adults with developmental disabilities support services. Thank you to the Arc of Montgomery County for providing support for our growers.

Our Community Supported Agriculture Program
Our CSA Program is made up of 120 local households who participate in our seasonal vegetable subscription service. These community members visit the farm once a week throughout our 27 week harvest season. These people form the backbone of our activities here at Red Wiggler. They not only provide us with much needed revenue but they help cultivate the Red Wiggler vision of creating fertile ground to nourish a healthy and inclusive community. These families often learn along side our growers which vegetables grow in which season (no, tomatoes aren’t harvested in June!), how different vegetables grow in different conditions, and connect with where their food comes from. The bottom line here is that this program provides valuable social and business interaction for our growers.
In 2008 Red Wiggler recieved the “Light the Fire” merit award from the Arc of Maryland.
In 2003 Red Wiggler recieved the “Agricultural Award” from the Department of Economic Development for innovative employemnt directions in the field of agriculture.
