Description

The Portland Growers Alliance is a new social enterprise helping beginning farmers to market and distribute fresh produce. We are a collaborative effort between Mercy Corps Northwest's New American Agriculture Project (NAAP) and Grow Portland, a new grassroots urban agriculture organization.

NAAP was started in 2004 by Mercy Corps Northwest, the local economic development agency of the international relief and development organization, Mercy Corps. Around 1,000 refugees are resettled annually to Portland from all over the world. Many have limited business education, but come with some growing experience along with the desire to learn and work hard. NAAP helps these refugee and immigrants begin small farm businesses by providing access to capital, land, and technical/business training.
