The organization creates food security for around 70 displaced refugee farm families who have been resettled in Chicago by providing them with land, water, seeds, tools, and equipment, so they can grow and eat fresh vegetables. They grow many varieties from their countries of origin, which helps preserve healthy eating traditions. They learn about new vegetable crops that are adapted to cold climates and can be incorporated into traditional recipes. We offer healing to farmers who may have been traumatized during displacement. We instill pride in farmers by enabling them to be self-sufficient members of their new community in the United States.
