Join the Karen Community Farm for a day of homemade Karen food, community and hope. Proceeds support students, teachers and families in eastern Burma and on the Thai border who have been displaced by years of civil war.

Why we're gathering

Last December, KCF farmer and board member Htoo Saw returned to his homeland for a month. He visited six schools in eastern Burma. Five now hold classes in the jungle because of airstrikes. He also visited camps for displaced families in Burma and Thailand. The needs he saw were urgent: food, medical supplies and school supplies.

  • Karen food sale: pumpkin curry, Karen noodles, Thai tea and cold drinks, made by Karen women in our community

  • Stories from Burma: hear from Karen youth, including a firsthand account from the December trip
