??We’re thrilled to announce that Sufiya Farm has secured a grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture! Over the past year, we've had the privilege of assisting them in the grant application process, and we couldn’t be happier for their success. This funding will allow farmers Mohammad and Shaheeda to upgrade their wash and pack station, install solar panels, and build a cold storage unit, significantly expanding their processing and storage capacity. These improvements will enhance their ability to provide fresh, healthy food directly to our community, especially local school districts. Supporting local farmers means supporting local health and sustainability. ???? At Masafresh, we're passionate about helping farmers secure the resources they need to thrive. From identifying grant opportunities to assisting with applications, we're committed to supporting the hard work of local producers who nourish our communities Congratulations to Sufiya Farm — we're excited to see the impact this grant will bring! #supportlocalpdx #oregongrown #oregonfarming
