WHITEHOUSE, Ohio — Bittersweet Farms is one of many non-profits trying to figure out how to keep its programming during the coronavirus. 

The 80-acre facility in Whitehouse specializes in working with adults who have autism and leaders are preparing for their biggest fundraiser of the year on September 17, called "Celebrating Possibilities."

This year, it will be fully virtual, giving people tours of the farm, streaming live music and more.

"The coolest thing is that we will be offering a painting class virtually with our creative specialist and you'll actually be painting a picture of our barn," Development Director of Bittersweet Farms Julie Champa said.

Right now, adults involved in the farm's day programs are learning virtually with activity packets and videos. They hope to bring back in-person day programs in the near future.
