Projects On The Pacific Coast
The Agriculture and Land Based Training Association (ALBA) was founded in 2001 and operates two organic training and demonstration farms in Monterey County, California. Typically, 36 limited-resource farmers lease ALBA land while learning small farm business and marketing skills.
National Hmong American Farmers, Inc. provides a culturally sensitive mechanism to help Fresno County's Hmong as well as small and minority growers, hone their technical and business skills and ultimately, to increase their income generation potential.
With the announcement that 2,000 Hmong refugees were coming to the Sacramento area, Opening Doors, Inc. (ODI) and three Hmong community based organizations collaborated on securing funds from the Office of Refugee Resettlement and USDA Risk Management Agency to begin securing resources for local immigrant farmers.
