Eagles' Wings Garden Center, Inc.

Eagles’ Wings Garden Center, Inc. was established to provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities who attend our Day Program. In July 2020, we proudly began growing hydroponic lettuce and supplying it to local restaurants, offering fresh produce to the community while empowering our individuals with rewarding work. Through our Small Group Employment Habilitation Program, we’ve successfully employed eight of our adult individuals, who take pride in every aspect of the process.

 

Our team members are proud to deliver "Joey’s Finest Lettuce"—named in honor of Joey Pike, the son of our founders—to our partner restaurants. Each delivery is a team effort, accompanied by an Eagles’ Wings staff member who assists and supports the delivery process. This program not only helps our employees develop vital work skills but also fosters meaningful connections with the restaurants and the community we serve.

​

We are incredibly grateful to the local restaurants and the community for their continued support of our mission and produce. By choosing to buy local, they are helping to cultivate hope, independence, and opportunity for our team members.
