Mission

To empower limited-resource and small-scale farmers by building connections with their local communities and providing access to shared resources.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To empower limitedresource and smallscale farmers by building connections with their local communities and providing access to shared resources

  • Access to shared resources: Farmers are accessing a shared resource - an online store where they can sell produce directly to consumers. Have access to expert guidance and advice via the La Cultiva program, on how best to access various grants and other forms of concessionary capital to support and expand their farm business through land access technical assistance.

    Expenses $128,000

  • Building connections with their local communities: We run a farm box service so farmers can sell their produce directly to customers in many neighborhoods in San Francisco Bay Area and Monterey County, see list of locations here- https://www.terafarm.org/sites We host farm visits so farmers can directly meet consumers in their communities and consumers can build connections with the food we eat See more https://www.terafarm.org/farmvisits

    Expenses $10,000

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
