One Farm at a Time is a new collaborative non-profit organization that encourages investment in the future of the farms that provide our food and seeks to ensure the sustainability of local family farms for generations to come. Our first goal is to purchase an easement to preserve Good Humus Produce in Capay Valley. Then we will move on to protect other small farms and make farming affordable for the next generation of farmers.

For almost 30 years Jeff and Annie Main and their family and friends have been farming organically in the rich soil of the Capay Valley in Yolo County. As one of the pioneer organic farming families in the region Jeff and Annie have been long time leaders in creating an alternative vision of how we respect the land. They are exploring how to turn their farm over to a community land trust so that it remains organic forever.
The Good Humus farm is a 20-acre small family farm producing excellent summer stone fruit and very good vegetables for local sales. They have a year-round vegetable, fruit, flower and bread Community Supported Agriculture. They are committed to bringing fresh local/seasonal produce to their custumers.

The pressure to sell farmland for other uses is enormous. With so much to save and so few dollars available Co-op Farmland Trust can really make a difference. With your focus being solely on land for organic farming Co-op Farmland Trust has the ability to save significant acreage. Every dollar that the Co-op Farmland Trust brings to the table is an additional dollar devoted to saving farmland.
-- Edward Thompson Jr, California Regional Director of American Farmland Trust. |
