The New Roots farm stand located in City Heights
is one of over 50 farms dedicated to refugee agriculture. Refugees from
everywhere including Congo, Somalia, and Bhutan are able to grow their own
crops at various community farms and bring them to weekly farmers’ markets to
be put on sale. This initiative gives refugees the chance to grow their own
vegetables for profit and provides a chance to connect with their cultures, as
many were farmers in their native countries. This program helps refugees learn
agricultural techniques and provides a significant source of income.
