🌿 FRESH LOCAL BASIL IS HERE! 🌿

Kyle is hard at work today harvesting our fresh, locally grown basil! 💚

Our basil is grown right here in our garden using our own soil made with OMRI-certified ingredients and has never been treated with pesticides. 🌱

We carefully harvest and package it fresh in convenient ½ oz clamshells, perfect for pasta, pizza, pesto, salads, or adding a little fresh flavor to your favorite recipes!

💚 ½ oz clamshell — $3.00
🔥 2 for $5

Support local agriculture while supporting our mission of creating meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities!

Come grab some while it’s fresh! 🌿

🌱 Hard Work Growing Something Great

We couldn’t be prouder of our Community Garden team! 💚

Even in today’s heat, this crew was out digging trenches to install a new irrigation system—an improvement that will make our garden more efficient, conserve water, and help us continue growing fresh produce for our community.

These guys work incredibly hard. They show up, pitch in, and tackle whatever needs to be done—without complaining and with a great attitude.

What they’re building is about more than irrigation. It’s about teamwork, responsibility, sustainability, and pride in a job well done. 🌱💪

Thank you to our Community Garden team for everything you do. You are helping our garden—and our community—grow! 💚

Happy Independence Day from Think Ability! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the freedoms that make our country strong—and the opportunities those freedoms create for every individual.

At Think Ability, we believe that independence is more than a word. It is the ability to make choices, pursue dreams, contribute to our communities, build meaningful relationships, and live a life of purpose.

For decades, we have been honored to advocate alongside people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, supporting their right to be seen, heard, included, and valued. While there is always more work to do, we are grateful to live in a country where those rights and freedoms matter and where we can continue working toward a future of greater opportunity for all.

As we celebrate this Fourth of July, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision that made these freedoms possible.

From all of us at Think Ability, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day.

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

🌧️ Sometimes a little drizzle is exactly what the garden needs!

Today, Ernie was applying beneficial nematodes during light, misty conditions—perfect timing for these microscopic allies. Moist soil and cloudy weather help nematodes move through the ground and protect them from drying out, giving them the best chance to find and control harmful soil-dwelling pests.

Beneficial nematodes are a natural, organic form of biological pest control. They target insect larvae like grubs and fungus gnat larvae while remaining safe for people, pets, plants, pollinators, and earthworms. Instead of relying solely on chemical pesticides, we’re using nature’s own tools to keep our gardens healthy and thriving.

It’s just one more way Think Ability is committed to sustainable growing practices and producing healthy plants the natural way. 🌱

These guys are as cool as cucumbers. 🥒😎

Ernie and Tim spent the day bringing in a beautiful harvest of fresh cucumbers and squash from our Pecan Garden. We’re proud of the hard work they put in to help grow food for our community!

Michael has been working so hard making Think Ability Potting Soil that he finally wore out the mixer!

Not one to let a problem slow him down, Michael grabbed the tools from his toolbox and got to work. By 9:00 AM, the mixer was repaired and back in action.

We’re proud of Michael’s dedication, problem-solving skills, and work ethic. Great job, Michael!

A big shoutout to Michael for a job well done!

Over the last month, Michael has taken on several new roles in the garden and has become our official “Garden Gatekeeper,” consistently opening the garden at sunrise and closing it at sundown.

He is also our daily soil maker — producing the soil we sell out front as well as the specialty soil used for our in-house plants and microgreens.

Michael continues to show a willingness to step outside of his comfort zone and go above and beyond. From helping customers find the perfect herbs to recently stepping in and successfully covering weekend microgreens watering, he has been an incredible team player.

Michael is truly the man behind the scenes helping keep everything running smoothly, and we want to recognize and thank him for his hard work, dedication, and positive attitude. Great job, Michael! 👏🌱
