At a farm on Cape Cod, adults with disabilities are learning to grow vegetables and sell them at roadside stands and farmers markets. Employees of Cape Abilities Farm work up to 20 hours a week, at rates up to $10 an hour. It’s a for-profit venture, but it hasn’t yet turned a profit.
Similar ventures have grown up in New Hampshire, Montana, Pennsylvania and New York.
“When I had no work, I got so sick and bored,” said Gail Gaulin, 47, who has a seizure disorder. “But now I’m learning a new skill. I like it here.”
