Preparing Your Group

There are many resources you can use to prepare your group for their visit and introduce them to Red Wiggler. Here are a few options.

• Take a look at our 20 Years and Growing video and other videos on our YouTube channel.
• Use this RWCF Pre-trip Lesson for your group.

Nurturing a Respectful and Inclusive Environment

Your group will interact with youth and adults with and without developmental disabilities. Regardless of the individual’s abilities, it is important to to treat each person with dignity. Not only does this mean speaking to everyone at an age-appropriate level, and with respect, but also recognizing their presence whenever you are with them - no matter the level of disability. If your group is coming to help us on the farm, it is important to remember that our Growers (employees with disabilities) have been paid farmers at Red Wiggler for many years and know their jobs better than those coming to visit or help on the farm. Come with the mindset that you are here to assist and learn from everyone on the farm.
