We’re highlighting a Partner Agency that’s both a grower and a distributor: CAC Beardsley Community Farm in Knox County. Their Buy Back program grants opportunities for refugee farmers to sell their produce and give culturally-preferred foods back to the community. The food is purchased through one of our grants, and is provided to our neighbors in need at no cost to them. “It helps me buy stuff [for] my kids,” said Francine, one of the farmers. “It gives me more encouragement to keep going, to not just give up.” Continue reading as we walk through the farm and gather enriching stories about the Buy Back program’s growing impact.
