Grow America Farm Corps

A resettlement program for New Americans; Cultivating Community, Employment, and Well-being

About the Program

The Grow America Farm Corps is an innovative initiative designed to revitalize the agricultural sector while supporting the integration and well-being of new Americans. Initially focused in Vermont, this program uniquely addresses the farm labor shortage by fostering a dynamic collaboration among farmers, new Americans, veterans, government entities, non-profit organizations, community groups, and private sector partners. Its aim is to create sustainable solutions that can potentially be replicated in other regions, starting with a strong foundation in Vermont’s rich agricultural landscape.

Our Focus

The Grow America Farm Corps represents a forward-thinking solution to contemporary challenges, rooted in community collaboration and mutual growth.

Inclusive Employment and Training

New Americans are offered employment opportunities on Vermont farms, coupled with comprehensive agricultural training and mentorship from experienced farmers.

Housing Solutions

A critical component of the program includes providing housing to participants, creating a stable foundation for their work and life in the community.

Community Integration and Support

Emphasizing the importance of community, the program offers cultural orientation, language support, and a robust support network encompassing healthcare and mental health services.

Collaborative Approach and Positive Impact

The synergy between various stakeholders, including local and state governments, non-profits, and community groups, ensures a well-rounded and effective program design and implementation. This collaborative approach not only addresses labor shortages but also enriches the cultural fabric, aiming to create a more inclusive, productive, and interconnected community.
