For Refugee Farmers ( 0 Files )
The New American Sustainable Agriculture Program (NASAP) is Cultivating Community's immigrant farmer training program. Through NASAP we provide information, training, tools and resources to recently resettled refugee farmers and immigrant farm workers from the world over now living in Maine. NASAP's primary goal is to deliver focused outreach and technical assistance, including educational programs, to limited-resources immigrant farmers, helping them to build successful Maine farms that are consistent with their cultural and lifestyle aspirations. For more information contact NASAP Director Amy Carrington.
For Farmers and Gardeners ( 0 Files )
Independent family farmers are the pillars of their communities. They grow high quality food, are active in civic life, and are essential to the economic vitality of both their hometowns and the nation. As stewards of the land, family farmers work to protect the soil, air, water, and biodiversity in addition to producing high-quality, healthy food for everyone.
For Teachers and Students ( 36 Files )
We work with schools and youth-serving organizations to create school-day and after-school garden programs that are high-impact, hands-on, and fun! Students dig in with seeds, seedlings, and garden work and are challenged to think critically about issues of social and environmental justice, self-sufficiency, and ecological sustainability.
