On October 19, 2017 leaders from four refugee and immigrant farming communities came to consensus to start a nonprofit in support of the success of refugee and immigrant farms in the Valley.

All Farmers is proud to be led by the communities we serve. Our strategic priorities are set by the farmers at our annual meeting, and a minimum of one half of our Board of Directors are refugees or immigrants themselves.

Equity & Accessibility

We know that equity doesn’t happen by accident. Here are some of the ways All Farmers is paying attention to equity and accessibility as an organization:

Language: We provide interpretation for any Board Member who would benefit from it.
Literacy: You do not need to be able to read to meaningfully participate on our Board or as a farmer in our programs. We provide information orally, in audio files, and/or videos where it is necessary or helpful.
Reimbursements for Childcare and Lost Wages: To keep our Board accessible to families with limited resources, we reimburse Board Members for childcare expenses and lost wages from participating on our Board.
Living Wages: All Farmers is committed to providing living wages for all staff.

We have come a long way, and are still growing. Does your organization have other practices we should consider? We want to hear from you.
