Farm project lifts immigrants’ hopes
by Tim WackerEagle Tribune (MA) Nov 14, 2004
A pilot project at Tufts University, The New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, plans to open up a training center around Andover to train immigrants—including Cambodians, Nigerians, Liberians, Asians and Latinos—to be the next generation of farmers. Once farmers graduate from the 18-week winter program, they are invited to use the project’s leased and to practice their skills over the next two to three years, until they are ready to go out on their own.
