World Farmers is fundraising
Flats Mentor Farm Flood Relief
Flooding events experienced by the 354 immigrant and refugee farmers at Flats Mentor Farm have put their businesses, livelihoods and food security at risk.
Farmers are experiencing the full effects of climate change, with two devastating floods this season. Every FMF farmer suffered near total crop loss at least twice this season – in mid-July after serious rains, and in early Sept after Henri and Ida.
All commercial FMF farmers have had to take multi-week hiatuses from their markets, while some never made it to market at all. Despite their multiple plantings this season, many farmers are closing out the year with little production and profits to show for their hard work, and FMF farmers’ season has been forcefully brought to a close.
In an attempt to compensate for these losses, World Farmers is launching a Flats Mentor Farm Flood Relief Campaign, where 100% of proceeds will be distributed to FMF farmers. Distribution of all funds raised during this campaign will be directed to our FMF Farmer Committee, made up fully of farmers at Flats Mentor Farm.
We are asking for your help, because FMF farmers won't. Farmers are resilient – but in a year of continuous rains, their dedication has truly been tested.
Support the 354 immigrant and refugee farmers of Flats Mentor Farm so that they may attempt to recover and return next year – to once again grow our food.
