We support our local food system!

The Good Farm Fund provides support to local farmers, farmworkers, farmlands, and food justice projects, whose work is a direct investment into our collective health and wellbeing. We do this through our Farm and Food Grants in the spring, Native Food Grants in the fall, and our Farmworker Fund in the summer and winter.

We provide funding for capacity-building and infrastructure projects. These grants are available to nonprofit, for-profit, and native-led farms, food producers, and food justice programs in Mendocino and Lake Counties. Our grant programs support the economic development of our local agricultural community, helping increase production, maximize local consumption, and provide affordable food to community members who might otherwise struggle to access it.

We believe that resilient and sustainable food systems are LOCAL food systems; our work supports both those who bring our food to market AND the food security of those who take it into their homes.

These grant-funded projects made a real difference for our agriculture community!

The Good Farm Fund provides an annual recurring grant to The Mendocino County Farmers Market Association. This partnership helps ensure that the MarketMatch program is available at all certified farmers markets in Mendocino and Lake Counties. The MarketMatch program doubles the value of a community member’s CalFresh benefits when shopping at a farmers market.
