That's why today's news of a seed-increase collaboration with the heartland of Oregon's refugee-farming community lands so sweetly. Good friends, our Rohingya, Ukrainian, Rwandan and DRC Congolese allies in northern Oregon. About 30 families in all. Refugees from war and genocide, for the most part.
