Round up to support family farms this August! Our Family Farms has shifted from leading a successful campaign banning GMO crops from Jackson County to teaching and inspiring farmers, gardeners, and seed savers to use regenerative agricultural practices, connecting the dots between healthy soil, preserving native pollinator habitat and reversing climate change.
Our Family Farms educates and inspires farmers, policy makers and the community at large to support regenerative agricultural practices. They offer educational programs about a variety of topics related to regenerative agriculture, soil health, and how these practices can sequester carbon rather than releasing it in the atmosphere, and can help restore and maintain native pollinator habitat.
Positive Change funds will be used to support the general operations of Our Family Farms, including the educational programs like Weed Control Alternatives to Plastic, Seed Saving, and On-Farm Workshops. Funds received in 2020 were applied to their Farmworker Fire Housing Fund to help displaced farmworkers who lost their homes in the Almeda and Obenchain fires.
