Cutting-edge food production meets meaningful employment for people with disabilities.
We’re excited to share an award-winning story of inclusion, innovation, and impact with you.
Hearts of Glass shows the journey of a new business, Vertical Harvest (VH). VH is a state-of-the-art greenhouse in Jackson, Wyoming. VH provides meaningful employment for people with disabilities. The film describes how VH began. It shares the stories of employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Plants and people grow as one while supporting inclusion for people with disabilities.
The film is being presented with descriptive audio and closed captioning (English and Spanish).
