What We Do: Programming and Education

Seeds of Migration Farming Collective

Transplanting Traditions is home to eight refugee-owned farm businesses, supported by TTCF through land access, agricultural education, and marketing assistance. Farmers share resources like delivery logistics, repair costs, and growing knowledge, while staff help overcome barriers such as language access and digital tools. Joining the CSA is a way to eat seasonally, build a relationship with local farmers, and bring home fresh organic produce and flowers grown without pesticides.

Farmer Education Programming

All of the refugee farmers at TTCF were farmers in their home country of Burma. They join the farm with a wealth of agricultural knowledge and skills and a deep desire to re-connect to their deeply rooted cultural heritage of farming.

Food Access

Our Share a Share program uses donations from community members like you to purchase traditional Southeast Asian vegetables and herbs from Transplanting Traditions farmers. This traditional produce is distributed to local organization to go to those in our community facing food insecurity.

Teen Programming

Our Youth Program has been built from the ground up in collaboration with the refugee community youth. In 2019, ten refugee youth advocated for TTCF and the refugee community through telling stories of their cultures with audio and visual documentaries, hosting weekly Asian vegetable cooking demonstrations at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market, and organizing a national youth food justice conference here in NC!

Children’s Program

The children’s program is made up of on-farm summer camp, tutoring, and early childhood education and was built out of the need of refugee farming families.

Support Us

Together, we are making a difference in the lives of refugee and immigrant farmers and their families as they access land, grow traditional food important to their culture and operate agricultural businesses.
