This project depends on the generosity of many community supporters, as well as our funders, who we would like to recognize here.
Boise Community Partners
These local farms and businesses have supported us by making in-kind donations such as seeds, plants, and free equipment rentals. Many of these farmers have also collaborated by teaching refugee farmers, through our winter training course, farm tours, direct employment, and other opportunities. Please help us by patronizing these farms and other businesses.
