Christine O’Driscoll and Carly VanDuinen are the co-founders of New Growth Project — a non-profit, “better than Organic” farm in Rockford, Michigan that employs individuals with cognitive differences.

In this podcast, we cover:

• What qualities make farm work fulfilling and well-suited for individuals with cognitive differences
• Agro-therapy and the physical and mental benefits of low-stimulation, outdoor work
• The importance of chemical-free agriculture
• The relationship between soil health and the nutrient value in food
• Why Organic certification isn’t always the best indicator of food quality
• and more!

New Growth Project CSA members can have their produce delivered by Locavana and bundles will be available for all customers soon at Locavana.com.
