From our Farm to Cafeteria initiative, to our work with the CSA Innovation Network (a partnership with 15 technical assistance groups), and the "Local Food Systems Response to COVID Network", we provide direct support to farms all across California through direct technical assistance, research, and by sharing valuable resources. Purchasing Collaboratives are groups of school and hospital food service purchasing representatives from the same region, utilizing common distributors and farmers. In 2020, CAFF facilitated over $905,000 sales via Purchasing Collaboratives of 260 diverse buyers and 250 farms. Farmer ServicesIn 2020, we provided direct technical support to hundreds of farmers across California with services: through launching our new Tech Hub (which supports small family farms and food enterprises in adopting technology-based solutions for their direct marketing challenges) and out ongoing work in our food safety program that helps growers provide healthy and safe produce to their markets through workshops, webinars, online resources and more. Our 2020 webinars covered Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) inspection updates and FAQs and on-farm food safety during COVID-19, with everything from employees to post-harvest to equipment. Partners included Full Belly Farm, California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). Ecological Farming (formerly Cliimate Smart)We work with farmers, policy makers, researchers, and local technical assistance providers to promote, improve, and better understand the adooption of ecological farming throughout California. CAFF's California Agricultural Water Stewardship Program (CA WSI) teaches growers how to use water more sustainably, while other programs emphasize integrated pest management, on-farm diversity, and building hedgerows. In 2020, we partnered with 20 farms to conduct on-farm trials and demonstrations, hosted six workshops, and helped farms implement ecological farming practices on over 350 acres. CAFF also shared two new resources for growers: our "Cover Crop Decision Guide for Perennial Systems and "Cover Crop Decision Guide for Annual Systems created in collaboration with the Freshwater Trust. These practical guides are designed to walk farmers through the process of selecting the right cover crop mix for your farm, from addressing issues such as soil compaction and pests, to providing benefits like adding nitrogen and attracting pollinators. 1382858 523444 Policy and AdvocacyCAFF has been advocating for family farmers in the California legislature since 1978. We continue that work today by focusing on state and federal policies, defending the rights of family farmers, as well as educating them about new policies that affect their farms. CAFF is a strong advocate for family-scale agriculture that cares for the land, sustains local economics, and promotes social justice. Each year, CAFF surveys hundreds of farmers and agricultural advocates and then our Policy Committee weighs in on California legislation, lending our support to bills that promote our mission and our members, opposing those that threaten them, and sponsoring bills to give family farmers and sustainable agriculture a better chance to succeed. 1382858 523444 1382858 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X Frank Munzinger 5307568518 PO Box 363 Davis CA 95617 DAWNIE ANDRAK BOARD CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE BASSO REYNOLDS SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 TOMMY IRVINE CPA TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 AL COURCHESNE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GOWAN BATIST DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN BAILEY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEIDRE HOLBROOK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA MILLER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL TOWERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 92700 0 0 92700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10405 381816 2241201 2633422 FEES FOR SERVICES 561000 198702 198702 OTHER PROGRAM 561000 18930 18930 217632 0 10405 4063 -4063 -4063 OTHER 110000 561 561 CHANGE IN BENEFICIAL I 110000 -6570 -6570 -6009 2840982 211623 0 -4063 523444 523444 1046028 570507 475521 96218 52478 43740 85093 46410 38683 134175 61670 72402 103 12554 12554 47889 8842 39047 64525 35192 29333 37814 32983 4831 22942 19905 3037 2561 2561 5394 5394 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 17162 17162 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 17085 17085 TELEPHONE 8384 4573 3811 PRINTING AND PHOTOCOPYI 8024 1717 6307 21501 7975 13526 2150793 1382858 767832 103 X 362044 802473 12604 24607 232349 603454 30859 28200 0 0 5337 8387 643193 1467121 71739 115469 103441 199375 55041 49116 230221 363960 X 2572 692761 410400 410400 412972 1103161 643193 1467121 690189 0 X 0 0 0 X 998601 1276617 1047353 1347925 2633422 7303918 306810 218648 236555 293466 217632 1273111 1305411 1495265 1283908 1641391 2851054 8577029 0 0 0 8577029 30277 19408 18128 25001 92814 30277 19408 18128 25001 92814 18950 8198 2985 12922 43055 1354638 1522871 1305021 1666392 2863976 8712898 0.98440 0.98260 0.01070 0.01290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18351 18351 2138442 2156793 257840 64460 0 0 227996 211618 215737 257840 913191 1369787 20400 17751 26976 18351 83478 56999 52905 53934 64460 228298 342447 0 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: DIRECT EXPENSES OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: DIRECT EXPENSES OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS 1 Cash grant to farmers who incurred losses due to fire. 32 32500 Cash value Cash grant to family farmers severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 100 490944 Cash value Part I, Line 2: The Board and Executive Director review and approve the grants made to Farmers affected by fire or those negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
