Desc	THE FARM INSTITUTE WORKS ALONGSIDE FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO INCREASE SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION. FARM INSTITUTE PROGRAMS BUILD THE PROSPERITY OF ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE PRODUCERS, INCREASE THE LAND IN ORGANIC PRODUCTION, AND TRAIN MORE BEGINNING FARMERS AS THE OLDER GENERATION RETIRES. AGRICULTURAL SKILLS CLASSES TRAIN BEGINNING FARMERS IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION. THE SIX-WEEK SKILL-BUILDING BUSINESS COURSE, FARM BIZ, LEAVES PARTICIPANTS WITH A CONCRETE BUSINESS PLAN AND FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT IS CRITICAL TO RUNNING A VIABLE FARM BUSINESS. THE LAND MATCH PROGRAM CONNECTS SUSTAINABLE FARMERS AND RANCHERS WITH LOCAL AGRICULTURAL LAND. TO DATE, SIERRA HARVEST HAS TRAINED 157FARMERS, HELPED 10 FARMS CERTIFY ORGANIC, MATCHED 26 FARMERS TO LOW COST FARM LAND, AND PROVIDED 4,524HOURS OF EDUCATION. SIERRA HARVEST'S SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND FARM CONFERENCE IS AN ANNUAL REGIONAL CONFERENCE DESIGNED TO EDUCATE AND CONNECT THE LOCAL AND REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE FARMING COMMUNITY. NEARLY 200 PARTICIPANTS ENGAGED IN WORKSHOPS FROM REGIONAL EXPERTS AND LEARNED HOW TO BUILD BUSINESS STRATEGIES, NETWORK WITH OTHER FARMERS AND CONNECT TO NEW LOCAL BUYERS. SIERRA HARVEST ALSO CONNECTS FARMERS AND FOOD BUYERS TO INCORPORATE MORE LOCALLY AND REGIONALLY GROWN FRESH FOODS INTO INSTITUTIONAL MEAL PROGRAMS AND FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS IN OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS, FOOD PANTRIES, CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, SENIOR HOMES, AND HOMELESS SHELTERS. SIERRA HARVEST DOES THIS THROUGH PRODUCER/BUYER MIXERS, ACCESS TO PRODUCER AVAILABILITY LISTS, TOURS OF LOCAL FARMS AND RANCHES, IDENTIFYING SEASONAL, COST-EFFECTIVE RECIPES, AND ASSISTANCE WITH EDUCATING CUSTOMERS ABOUT LOCAL SOURCES OF FOOD AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL FARMING COMMUNITY. LAST YEAR THERE WERE 89 FARM BUSINESSES THAT RECEIVED 340 HOURS OF DIRECT SUPPORT IN CONNECTING TO NEW BUYERS TO SELL THEIR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, AND 71% OF THOSE WERE OWNED OR MANAGED BY MEMBERS OF HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS.IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL FARMERS AND RANCHERS, SIERRA HARVEST ENGAGES IN LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL POLICIES THAT SUPPORT JUST, SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS. THE NEVADA COUNTY FOOD POLICY COUNCIL (NCFPC) WAS FORMED IN MARCH 2015 TO FOSTER COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL FOOD AND FARMING INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS, SET COMMON GOALS AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAXIMIZE POSITIVE IMPACTS ON THE FOOD ENVIRONMENT, HUMAN HEALTH, AND LIVELIHOODS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE NCFPC IS A MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA FOOD AND FARMING NETWORK AND HAS INVOLVED OVER 80 LOCAL FOOD AND FARMING ORGANIZATIONS TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO BUILD A MORE VIBRANT LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM.	Desc

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6	SIERRA HARVEST VOLUNTEERS: THIS YEAR 90 GENEROUS VOLUNTEERS WORKED OVER 1,717 HOURS TO HELP SIERRA HARVEST MAKE PROGRESS TOWARDS THEIR MISSION AND VISION. OUR ALL-VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED THE POLICY GOVERNANCE MODEL, AN INTEGRATED BOARD LEADERSHIP PARADIGM CREATED BY DR. JOHN CARVER, WHICH IS A GROUNDBREAKING MODEL OF GOVERNANCE DESIGNED TO EMPOWER BOARDS OF DIRECTORS TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS THEY GOVERN. THESE VOLUNTEERS DONATED THEIR TIME TO HELP HARVEST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO WASTE FROM FARMS AND HOME ORCHARDS AND DISTRIBUTED THEM TO A LOCAL FOOD PANTRY. THEY TURNED BEDS, PLANTED STARTS, HARVESTED, AND WEEDED AT OUR FOOD LOVE EDUCATIONAL FARM. THEY HELPED OUR STAFF WITH SIGNIFICANT DATA ENTRY TASKS THAT HELP TRACK THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3	SINCE THE SIERRA GARDENS PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED NINE YEARS AGO, 119 VEGGIE GARDENS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ACROSS NEVADA COUNTY TO HOMEOWNERS, RENTERS, LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS, WITH THE VISION THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN LEARN TO LOVE THE BENEFITS OF GROWING THEIR OWN FRESH, LOCAL FOOD. WE HAVE LOVED HEARING FROM PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THEIR JOY OF GROWING THEIR OWN VEGGIES, HOW THEY STARTED EATING MORE VEGETABLES AT HOME, AND HOW THESE GARDENS HAVE GIVEN THEM A NEW SPACE TO UNWIND AND RECHARGE. WHILE THESE UNIQUE GARDENS HAVE TOUCHED THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN, WE TRANSITIONED AWAY FROM THE SIERRA GARDENS PROGRAM IN 2022 TO EXPLORE HOW TO BEST SUPPORT A LARGER PART OF THE COMMUNITY IN GETTING ACCESS TO FRESHLY GROWN VEGGIES. A RECENT PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERFAITH FOOD MINISTRY IN A 6-MONTH COMMUNITY CENTERED DESIGN PROCESS WILL HELP INFORM THIS EVOLUTION, AS WELL AS CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DESIGNATING COMMUNITY GARDEN SPACES.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B	THE 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. THE 990 IS FIRST SUBMITTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE 990, SUGGESTS CORRECTIONS, AND THEN PRESENTS THE AMENDED DOCUMENT TO THE FULL BOARD. THE BOARD THEN REVIEWS THE 990 PRIOR TO SUBMISSION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	BOARD MEMBERS AND ALL STAFF SIGN OUR CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WHEN THEY JOIN THE BOARD OR ARE HIRED AND ANY ITEMS OF INTEREST ARE REVIWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. EACH YEAR, BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF ARE ASKED TO FILL OUT AN UPDATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, AND ANY ITEMS OF INTEREST ARE REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PREPARES A BUDGET FOR COMPENSATION USING THE NON PROFIT RESOURCE CENTER'S COMPENSATION GUIDE FOR NORTHERN CA AND REGIONAL JOB POSTINGS AS A GUIDE. COMPENSATION ALSO TAKES INTO ACCOUNT EACH EMPLOYEE'S PERFORMANCE, THEIR TIME IN THE POSITION, THEIR LEVEL OF BUDGETARY RESPONSIBILITY AND THEIR NUMBER OF DIRECT REPORTS. THE BOARD THEN APPROVES THIS BUDGET. THE BOARD FOLLOWS A SIMILAR PROCESS TO SET THE SALARY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 18	SIERRA HARVEST'S FORM 1023 AND ANNUAL 990S ARE AVAILABLE AT WWW.SIERRAHARVEST.ORG AND ON THE GUIDESTAR WEBSITE. SIERRA HARVEST'S POLICIES AND MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE ON FILE IN OUR OFFICE AND ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
