    Red Wiggler is a sustainable Care Farm where people with and without developmental disabilities come together to work, learn, and grow healthy food. Volunteers join us for a variety of farming tasks. Depending on the time of year and time of day, we might be weeding, harvesting, planting, or doing other field maintenance. Volunteers will work side-by-side with our Grower staff members with intellectual/developmental disabilities, typically in small teams of 5-6.  This is a fairly physical job. Participants provide their own transportation and will meet at Ovid Hazen Well Park, 23400 Ridge Road, Germantown, MD 20876. Wear sturdy, weather-appropriate clothing; layers recommended.  Closed-toe shoes are required.  Bring a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. Feel free to bring a bag lunch to enjoy after your hard work.  There are lovely picnic tables in the shade of a big oak tree. If the weather is drizzly, the event will take place.  In case of steady rain, the event will be rescheduled. Your fee for this program goes to Red Wiggler Farm to defray their administrative costs for this event.
