Refugee farmers in the International Rescue Committee's New Roots program in Phoenix work on 5 community gardens and several personal farms totaling over 150 acres. Typically, they till the land by hand — quite a big job under the Arizona sun. With the arrival last month of a new tractor donated by Redemption Church, the farmers will be able to do their work in half the time and harvest twice as much land. Many thanks to Redemption Church as we grow good from the ground up together!
