Community Access

Connection Laura Beth’s Flower Arrangements

Community Access is a program

designed to help individuals build natural

friendships within the community by

participating in community groups and

gaining their greatest level of

independence in doing so. Laura Beth

was one of the first

to participate in our

new Community

Access Program. As

one who both loves

and is

knowledgeable

about flowers, Laura

Beth expressed

interest in

volunteering with

Friends with Flowers, a volunteer group

who repurposes donated flowers into

arrangements that are delivered to

Hospice patients throughout Scott

County.

Most Saturdays between

September and March, Laura Beth was

accompanied by a staff member of

Quest Farm to Friends with

Flowers. Together they learned the ins

and outs of the group, from putting

together arrangements to getting to

know the other ladies who volunteer.

Throughout this time, she grew in her

knowledge and

ability to not only

arrange flowers,

but her friendships

with the ladies

grew into a

supportive

atmosphere for

Laura Beth. As

she built natural

supports with the

women of Friends with Flowers, it is now

no longer necessary for a staff member

to participate in the activity alongside

her. Laura Beth has become a vital

member of Friends with Flowers and

found in them, a group in which she can

independently participate and contribute.

Handmade, Customizable Gifts New skills have served our participants well by developing marketable

skills and one of a kind products.

In order to make our products more appealing to members of our

community, we have recently started to personalize certain items.

These make great gifts for friends and family, graduating students, or

for any special occasion. Stop by our Day Training location in

downtown

Georgetown

soon to check

out all that is

available.

Napkin holders, decorative crosses,

and seasonal gift items are just a few of the

crafts that are created and sold by

individuals in our Day Training program each

week. Together, with the assistance with

staff, our participants research and create

unique items that are not only beautiful, but

artfully designed. By utilizing the training

and expertise of staff and the wood shop

resources at our disposal, we have

broadened the scope of our crafts as well as

the skill of our participants.

Top 5 ways to prepare Asparagus

Now that winter has

finally broken, and the

sunlight has returned, we are

eagerly anticipating the spring

harvest of asparagus. Last

year, after a very harsh winter,

our field yielded just over 200

pounds of asparagus that

was enjoyed throughout our

community. We are eagerly

anticipating a strong harvest

this year and look forward

to sharing it with our

community. In just a few

short weeks, asparagus will

be available to purchase at

our Day Training location in

downtown Georgetown!

All asparagus available

for purchased is grown and

picked from our farm

location. Come in and taste

the difference. You will love

our farm fresh asparagus.

1. Egg-cellent Asparagus Love a good omelet? Add steamed asparagus to

your omelet and top with feta cheese and watch

as your tastes buds jump for joy!

2. Crispy Grilled Coat your farm fresh asparagus with olive oil and

some rosemary and throw it on a the grill over

medium high heat.

3. Cheese & Crackers Take your favorite cracker, a slice of soft cheese

(like goat cheese, or a cheese spread) and add a

crisp asparagus head on top. Watch as your guests

delight in how this simple appetizer spruces up any

dinner.

4. Steamed to perfection Steam your asparagus for 2-4 minutes or until

tender-crisp. An easy quick side dish to add to any

meal that the whole family will love.

5. Stock up Did you know that you can eat the woody stems

too? While they are often to fibrous to eat in the

same way as the rest of the asparagus throw them

in your next soup. This will add great flavor and

great sources of nutrients to any soup. Plus you

can be pleased that you didn’t waste any food!
