Do you work with Immigrants, Refugees and/or First Generation Americans? Do they have an interest in farming? The New American Farmer Education Project can help refugees and other immigrants to get started in small-scale farming in the Southern Tier. We provide:
·
Farming Workshops taught by experienced local
farmers
·
Support in Obtaining Land
·
Farm and Business Mentors
·
ESL & Translation Support
The New American Farmer Education Project is a collaborative effort of
the Groundswell Center for Local Food
& Farming and the Center for
Agriculture Development and Entrepreneurshsip (CADE),along with the NYS
Department of State’s Office for New Americans (ONA.) ONA was established
recently in order to encourage New Americans to participate in New York’s civic
and economic life, and to help legal permanent residents navigate the path to
citizenship.
We need your help connecting with individuals or groups of new Americans
in your area who might be interested in farming. We will be hosting an Information Session for service
providers Friday April 12,
2-4 PM in Ithaca, to share information about the opportunities and challenges for new Americans who want to get started in farming, and to explain the programs and services that we offer. Please RSVP by email to newamericans@groundswellcenter.org or call the Groundswell office at 607-319-5095.

That kind of education project is really helpful. It can help farmers to nourish and improve their learning about agriculture in order to have a very good harvest.
