It is 2024 now. Manitoba farmer Isaiah Hofer faced a big challenge this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of potatoes — each weighing 100 pounds — Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. He was anxious and couldn’t think of a better way.
Luckily, The Farmlink Project came to help in time. It turned the potential waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since its foundation four years ago. Farmlink has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce, to those in need across the United States and beyond.
Hofer’s difficult situation caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. They quickly got in touch with Hofer. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico.
Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of The Farmlink Project, said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met.
Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his happiness in being able to give back. “When you’re blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared.
