Several participants are preparing to enter the workforce, opening new spaces this winter for others seeking a place to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a quiet stretch of Folkins Drive, a farmhouse overlooks the Tantramar marsh. Inside, Open Sky Cooperative is more than a farm &#8211; it\u2019s a workplace, a classroom, and a safe space. The non-profit social enterprise uses its small-scale farm operations to help neurodivergent young adults build independence through hands-on learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Teaching through work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Executive Director Laura Hunter says the cooperative\u2019s goal is to create inclusive communities where people can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are fostering inclusive communities where people can thrive, contribute, and experience a sense of value, belonging, and hope,\u201d said Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><sub>Hear the story below:<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/OpenSky.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hunter explains that the cooperative\u2019s social enterprise model connects farming, business, and community involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe use the big old farmhouse, the gardens, the barn with our critters &#8211; that\u2019s our classroom for interaction and self-discovery,\u201d she said. \u201cEverything from planting and harvesting to sales and customer service becomes a learning opportunity&#8230;our program is not a linear program &#8211; we work really hard to meet people where they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u201cneurodivergent,\u201d Hunter adds, was chosen by participants themselves to describe a diversity of ways the brain processes information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey taught us to use that term because it\u2019s more descriptive &#8211; an umbrella for brain or processing differences that make operating in the dominant culture a little more challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preparing for employment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several Open Sky participants are now preparing to transition into local workplaces. Hunter says that change not only reflects their growth but also opens new spaces for others to join the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been working hard recently to talk with employers about their workplaces and whether there might be places that could be a welcome workplace for neurodivergent people,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for employers who have opportunities that might be well-suited to our young people who are looking for work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She says the cooperative also helps train and support local employers who want to become more inclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe help our participants learn to advocate for their own needs,\u201d said Hunter. \u201cWe also offer guidance and training for employers who want to make their workplaces more inclusive. Sometimes that means offering a short presentation or workshop to help them understand different needs and communication styles, and how a few small adjustments can make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"86827c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #86827c;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-1280x721.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66572 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-1280x721.avif 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-600x338.avif 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-768x432.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-1536x865.avif 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-2048x1153.avif 2048w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251021_121711-1320x743.avif 1320w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Staff and participants at Open Sky work to prepare the days lunch (Clinton Davis\/CHMA News)<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A place to heal and grow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, Open Sky supports about 17 participants, with capacity for up to 20. Hunter says many of those who come to the farm are rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences in traditional school settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA hundred percent of them have experienced some level of trauma from their experience in the school system,\u201d she said. \u201cOne of the first things we work on is helping folks rebuild trust in other humans &#8211; because they\u2019ve been excluded, bullied, or discriminated against. We just feel privileged that they put their trust in Open Sky, the staff, and the community around us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Community connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the cooperative\u2019s retail greenhouse welcomed more than a thousand customers. Hunter says the project gives participants another way to engage with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to have the greenhouse here at Open Sky, where participants can learn about growing vegetables and flowers and be part of selling them to the public,\u201d she said. \u201cWe had over a thousand customers this spring, and the support from the community was tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beat the Blues Unplugged coming this winter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for what\u2019s next, Hunter says Open Sky is planning a new winter event called <em>Beat the Blues Unplugged<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re planning it for late January or early February &#8211; a small thank-you to the community with some music, lights, and a warm space to gather,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
