History of Cultivating a Cure

Cultivating a Cure was founded in 2011 by the Porteus family to support their passion for cancer research and prevention while remembering all of those among our families who are and have battled cancer. Cultivating a Cure recognizes the value that is found when members of the agriculture community forge and develop their relationships and come together to address issues and challenges facing our industry such as finding cures for cancer.
