TC Growers Meeting With Naima Dhore

Immigrant Farmer to Share Her Journey at TC Growers Meeting

Hear the story of Somali-American organic farmer Naima Dhore and her journey toward owning her own farm as SFA's Twin Cities Growers Network hosts its next virtual gathering from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Fri., Aug. 14.

This presentation will be of interest to emerging farmers, especially BIPOC growers who face additional challenges to an already daunting task. Naima and her husband are currently pursuing a Farm Service Agency loan to purchase 20 acres of farmland; she is also founder of the Somali American Farmers Association to support Somali and immigrant farmers who focus on culturally specific and organic produce and indigenous African farming practices. 

Open to all; questions welcome. This meeting will be conducted via Zoom and registration is required. REGISTER.
