OUR SOCIAL ENTERPRISES
At Westonwood Ranch, our social enterprises are more than businesses — they’re pathways to purpose. Each seed planted in our greenhouse, each batch of Brew Chews gourmet dog treats, and every hand-poured candle represents opportunity, growth, and independence for individuals with developmental differences.Through these enterprises, our participants gain real-world skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging — while creating high-quality, meaningful products the community can feel proud to support. Every purchase helps us cultivate potential, one person and one product at a time.
OUR AQUAPONICS FARM
A Social Enterprise at Westonwood Ranch creating work opportunities and providing local organically grown butter lettuce to the Florida Panhandle

​
At Westonwood Ranch, the Aquaponic Greenhouse isn’t just a place where lettuce grows—it’s where confidence blooms, purpose takes root, and futures are cultivated. Here, young people with developmental differences step into meaningful roles that align with their unique strengths, from monitoring water quality to harvesting produce for local sale. It’s more than hands-on learning—it’s a living classroom where science, responsibility, and self-worth intersect.
This innovative social enterprise reflects the heart of our mission: to equip individuals with the life skills and job readiness they need for greater independence. With each shift in the greenhouse, participants aren’t just gaining skills—they’re contributing to a real business, building pride, and proving that everyone has something valuable to offer.
The Aquaponic Greenhouse is more than a program. It’s a symbol of what’s possible when we create a place to grow.
