New Roots Redwood Farm, part of the International Rescue Committee's initiative in Salt Lake City, empowers refugees to cultivate their heritage through community gardening and micro-training for farmers. The farm enhances food access via local farmers markets, fostering strong connections with the community. It stands as a testament to resilience and shared cultural roots, bridging new beginnings with traditions.
New Roots Redwood Farm is more than just a farm—it's a vibrant hub for refugees in Salt Lake City, proudly supported by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). This initiative helps refugees establish new ground by celebrating their heritage through agriculture. By participating in community gardening, newcomers can preserve their cultural roots while forming new ties with the local community.
The farm offers micro-training programs that equip refugees with essential farming skills, promoting self-sufficiency and economic wellbeing. These programs are designed to not only provide skills but also encourage empowerment and independence among the participants.
A key component of New Roots Redwood Farm's mission is to enhance access to fresh produce. By participating in local farmers markets, the farm plays a crucial role in the community by delivering fresh, locally-grown food directly to the consumer. This not only supports the local economy but also ensures that healthy food is available and accessible.
The IRC hosts various events to connect and engage with the community, both virtually and in-person. These include informational briefings, panels, and unique gatherings like the annual Global Rescue Dinner in New York. These events provide platforms for education, discussion, and fundraising in support of ongoing humanitarian efforts.
For those interested in the farm's produce, both the Redwood Farm and the IRC office in Salt Lake City serve as convenient CSA pick-up locations, making it easy for community members to access fresh, seasonal produce.
The work at New Roots Redwood Farm is part of a global movement led by the IRC, which operates in over 40 countries. The focus is on aiding those impacted by conflict and disaster, offering support that ranges from healthcare to education, thereby fostering resilience and recovery.
