Direct Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs)
This farm is located in a low-income community and the Carbon Farm Plan directly benefits the landowners. The farm also sells produce at local farmers markets that accept EBT as well as a "market match" program, and serves low income communities.
Indirect Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs)
The CFP identified many practices that will improve water holding capacity, infiltration and climate resilience. This will help mitigate the effects of drought, flooding and other climatic events. Climate resilience will improve the chances that food will remain available with unprecedented climatic change on the horizon.
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
A Carbon Farm Plan and Soil Health Management Plan were written for this farm. The farm is approximately 100 acres, and is primarily orchards with several fields of row crops. Perennial and annual crops are all dry farmed.
