We envision regional food systems where everyone has access to healthy, affordable food, and communities are empowered with knowledge, resources, and opportunities to grow their own food.
Supporting our local food system & community in the Lost Sierra through food access, food security, regenerative farm education and job training.

Regenerative Farming Education
The farm changed my life. I loved volunteering with the farm-I learned more common practices than I thought coming in to it. This experience has got me seriously considering a career path in sustainable farming.

Workforce Development Program
We offer job training programs on our farm in order to provide technical skills, build awareness, and enhance knowledge related to ecological farming.
“I loved harvesting and trying new foods and herbs. It was interesting to learn about what the plants on the farm and what they need to survive.”
- TAY participant, 2020
Regenerative Farming Education
We use every opportunity to educate visitors on the farm, whether it is with our volunteers, program participants, and/or students from the Ecological Farming Certificate at Feather River College, Plumas Charter School and Plumas Unified School District.
“Yes, I will continue to grow food in my garden. This program inspired me to grow more food every year instead of every few years.”
– Breanna, Age 14 (Upward Bound participant)
“Volunteering on the farm has been a constant highlight every week. It has changed the way I see food, farming, and community. I cannot fully express my gratitude for this place.”
