Our mission

A place to farm, learn and belong

For many refugee families, farming was a way of life before they had to leave home. At our farm they care for animals again, grow culturally important food and learn the skills to run a farm business in Utah.

  • Hands-on training in goat care, poultry and grazing
  • Led by the refugee community since 2021
  • Natural land care without chemicals or heavy machines

Help rebuild our poultry program

Avian flu took most of our flock and goats were stolen from the farm. With help from donors, sponsors and volunteers we are rebuilding — and keeping training going for refugee families.
