Our Mission is to promote the self-sufficiency, inclusion and independence of people with developmental disabilities through involvement in environmentally sustainable agriculture.



Agriculture offers a productive and healthy alternative to the common service sector jobs many people with developmental disabilities find available. Real social and environmental benefits also result from preserving agricultural land surrounding urban areas, producing food close to markets, and using production techniques that protect environmental quality and workers’ health and safety.



At Left Foot Organics, growing and selling fresh produce directly to the consumer are the vehicle we use to teach independent living and basic job skills, improve physical health and coordination, develop appropriate social behavior, and build self confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Marketing their produce also gives people with developmental disabilities an opportunity to build the meaningful community and personal relationships that are so important to quality of life.
