Program 1 [2020]
FARM PROGRAM REUNITY RESOURCES FARM SERVES A BROAD SPECTRUM OF OUR COMMUNITY, CREATING CONNECTIONS, DIALOGUE AND MUTUAL LEARNING AROUND FOOD AND SUSTAINABILITY. OUR FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS SERVE LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORS, WHILE BI-LINGUAL COOKING AND NUTRITION CLASSES ARE ADVERTISED AT PRESBYTERIAN, LA FAMILIA AND TO ALL SNAP USERS. AT-RISK YOUTH WORK ON THE FARM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUTHWORKS. SFCC SUSTAINABILITY STUDENTS INTERN HERE. SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS LEARN ABOUT US THROUGH COOKING WITH KIDS DEMOS, MEET-THE-FARMER VISITS AND FREE FIELD TRIPS. CUSTOMERS REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY FROM RECENT IMMIGRANTS TO RETIREES. 1,239 SUBSCRIBERS WERE ON OUR FARM COMMUNITY EMAIL LIST IN 2020, WITH 50-100 VISITORS AT EACH OF 44 FARM STANDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. VEGETABLES WERE ALSO SOLD WHOLESALE TO RESTAURANTS AND DONATED TO LOCAL HUNGER EFFORTS ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 100,000 MEALS DONATED TO THOSE IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY. COMMERCIAL PROGRAM OUR COMMERCIAL COMPOSTING PROGRAM DIVERTS OVER 1.5 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD WASTE FROM THE LANDFILL AND PREVENTS THE METHANE EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD WASTE IN LANDFILLS, WHICH IS THE 3RD LARGEST METHANE PRODUCER GLOBALLY. RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM NEARLY A THIRD OF THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLDS TRASH MAKE-UP IS ACTUALLY COMPOSTABLE, AND OUR DOORSTEP PROGRAM MAKES HOME COMPOSTING EASY AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY. LAUNCHING IN APRIL 2020 WITH JUST 30 HOUSEHOLDS, BY THE END OF THE YEAR, 150 HOUSEHOLDS WERE INVOLVED WITH APPROXIMATELY (15018LBS) 2,700 MORE POUNDS OF FOOD WASTE DIVERTED WEEKLY. SOIL YARD PROGRAM OVER 2,000 CUBIC YARDS OF COMPOST WAS SOLD AND DONATED INTO THE COMMUNITY. WHEN COMPOST IS AMENDED TO DESERTIFIED SOILS, IT CAN CAPTURE UP TO 20,000 MORE GALLONS OF WATER PER ACRE (WITH ONLY ONE INCH OF COMPOST AMENDED OVER THAT ACRE), AND SETS UP AN ONGOING POSITIVE FEEDBACK CYCLE SEQUESTERING INCREASING AMOUNTS OF CARBON OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE WHERE IT IS HARMFUL AND BACK INTO THE SOIL WHERE IT IS HELPFUL.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$615.3KFood Access and Community Engagement
