Technical Support for Producers
We provide technical assistance for farmers and ranchers in northern California through a variety of programs that we help administer with other organizations throughout the year. Our current ongoing programs include the Regional Conservation Partnership Program(opens in new window) and the North Valley Food Hub(opens in new window) but we also work with the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Healthy Soils Incentive Grant(opens in new window) program and others for shorter periods of time. Check out the resources on this page and/or contact us via the link below and we'll help assess your situation and help you find the assistance you need.
