La Semilla Community Farm, a 2019 grantee in Anthony, NM, received a $4K grant to purchase trees and plants for a native vegetation buffer and windbreak. So far this season, they’ve designed and purchased supplies for an irrigation system for their windbreak and created a farm road to access it. They’ve also purchased trees for the windbreak, but won’t be planting until later in the fall. See their interim progress update linked in our bio for more details #SmallFarmsBigImpacts

2019 grantee @jsmorganics in Aromas, CA, received a $5K grant to purchase a beneficial seed mix, pyro-weeder, beekeeping equipment, a quick-cut greens harvester, and a low-energy greens dryer. So far, they’ve grown an amazing lettuce crop, thanks in part to a successful first run with their new pyro-weeder. Their harvester and dryer will also play vital roles in getting this crop to market. Learn more from their interim update linked in our bio. #SmallFarmsBigImpacts

As California’s climate changes, farms across the state increasingly find themselves staring down unprecedented droughts, wildfires, floods, and erratic weather. This winter, an interactive online course will be available, offering a technical and theoretical tool-kit that will help farmers create an on-farm fire-resilience plan.
