Mercy Corps Northwest Refuge Gardens

Mercy Corps Northwest Refuge Gardens program is a non-profit program that works with refugee families in the Portland area to grow and market delicious, healthy produce. Our mission is to equip families to make improvement in their lives and provide them tools to succeed in their transition to life in this country. Participants work alongside us to earn income, improve family health, and increase the supply of fresh, local food in our community. We support the work of families from Bhutan, Myanmar at two garden sites in the Portland area, producing over thirty varieties of vegetables without synthetic inputs of any kind. Our produce is sold through Portland Farmers Market on Saturdays and Wednesday throughout the growing season and through our CSA program. We are dedicated to the stewardship of our natural resources and to working together with our community to improve lives and create opportunities for people to thrive within it.
