Cultivating Change: The Transformative Power of Care Farming with Kate Mudge and Woody Woodroof
Episode 3
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
In this episode of the ReImagination Café, Jessica welcomes Kate Mudge, Co-Director of the Care Farming Network, and Woody Woodroof, founder of Red Wiggler Care Farm—voices behind a growing movement that uses therapeutic farming to promote health, well-being, and belonging. From one Maryland farm to hundreds across the U.S., they share stories that show how care farms heal, provide purpose, and connect people. You'll also hear from: Shawn Hayden (CEO, GAAMHA) on recovery programs that pair people in recovery with rescued farm animals. Lacey and Adam Ingrao (Bee Wise Farms) on mindfulness-infused beekeeping that supports veterans, invites honest dialogue, and builds community. Charley Schwartz (Red Wiggler) on creating sanctuary safe spaces where people feel heard, seen, and that they belong. Don't miss this conversation about: What care farming is—and the mutual benefits for participants, staff, volunteers, and communities. Red Wiggler's model: meaningful employment for people with disabilities, and community food access. How the Care Farming Network helps farms connect, share resources, mentor, and support one another. Innovative, real-world models serving people with disabilities, veterans, people in recovery, and other under-supported communities.
