Tolani Lake Enterprises (TLE), based in Tolani Lake, Arizona, is launching a two-year training and technical assistance program to strengthen food, water, and economic systems for Native communities in the Little Colorado River Watershed. The project will serve at least 60 producers by providing tailored technical assistance, workshops on food entrepreneurship and regenerative agriculture, and access to capital through a mini-grant system. By fostering collaboration at the Sihasin Market Garden and creating online markets, TLE will expand sales opportunities, improve food access, and build a stronger local food economy. Aligned with NAAF’s mission, the project emphasizes capacity-building, advocacy, and regenerative practices that reflect cultural values to promote long-term sustainability and community resilience.
