Umoja Na Uhuru World Farm-Idaho

Umoja Na Uhuru World Farm On a quiet residential street near the airport in central Boise, Idaho, you will find a little more than four acres of farmland nestled in between homes. One of the many farmers who share the space is Abdi Haji of Umoja Na Uhuru (“Unity and Freedom”) World Farm. He operates a Community Supported Agriculture program that provides fresh vegetables for 26 families in the Boise area.

Additionally, Abdi accepts online orders and sells at Boise’s Saturday Market, offering sweet corn, beets, potatoes, sugar snap peas, squash, peppers, leafy greens, tomatillos, and more.

In 2022, he received a Brighter Future Fund grant from the American Farmland Trust. This grant allowed him to continue upgrading his farm by investing in multiple pieces of equipment that allow for faster hand tilling, precision seeding, and lettuce harvesting. The remaining funds will be used to install drip irrigation and plastic sheeting, which conserve water through reduced evaporation.
