FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: PROGRAM: FARMING TRAINING FARMERS - GLYNWOOD'S FARMER TRAINING PROGRAM FOSTERS THE NEXT GENERATION OF AGRICULTURAL ENTREPRENEURS WHO WILL CREATE VIABLE FARM BUSINESSES AND BRING MORE HUDSON VALLEY LAND INTO PRODUCTION. APPRENTICE PROGRAM - USING THE COLD SPRING FARM AS A PRIMARY TRAINING GROUND, GLYNWOOD COMPLETED THEIR ELEVENTH SEASON OF TRAINING FARMER APPRENTICES. THEY WELCOMED THREE VEGETABLE PRODUCTION AND THREE LIVESTOCK APPRENTICES FOR THE 2019 GROWING SEASON WHO GAINED VALUABLE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELDS AND IN THE CLASSROOM USING THE ROBUST FARMER TRAINING CURRICULUM. THIS YEAR'S CURRICULUM INCLUDED APPROXIMATELY 30 WORKSHOPS, SOME OF WHICH WERE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A TOTAL OF 800 HOURS OF WORKSHOPS WAS OFFERED TO APPROXIMATELY 158 PARTICIPANTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. OFFERINGS INCLUDED HOSTING A SOIL INTENSIVE, A UNIQUE OFFERING THAT FEATURED EXPERT PRESENTATIONS AND FARMER-TO-FARMER EXCHANGE AND A SMALL RUMINANT SCHOOL, FEATURING CORNELL UNIVERSITY FACULTY. BEFORE HEADING OFF TO THEIR NEXT FARMING POSTS, APPRENTICES SPENT ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH THE SENIOR FARM DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF FARMER TRAINING, AND FARM MANAGERS LEARNING HIGHER-LEVEL MANAGERIAL SKILLS, LIKE REVIEWING FARM RECORDS AND BUDGETS, WHICH PROVIDES A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THE BUSINESS REALITIES OF FARMING. THROUGH THE END OF 2019, 50 FARMERS HAD BEEN TRAINED THROUGH THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHOM HAVE CONTINUED CAREERS IN FARMING OR FOOD SYSTEMS WORK AFTER GRADUATING. FARM BUSINESS INCUBATOR - GLYNWOOD'S HUDSON VALLEY FARM BUSINESS INCUBATOR (HVFBI) IS AN IDEAL STEPPING STONE FOR FARMERS WHO ARE IN THEIR INITIAL 1 TO 6 YEARS OF BUILDING THEIR FARM ENTERPRISES. TO MEET THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF NEW AND BEGINNING FARMERS IN THE REGION, THE HVFBI PROGRAM PROVIDES CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT SERVICES TO FIFTEEN NEW FARM ENTREPRENEURS. WHEREAS AN EARLY FOCUS WAS ON PROVIDING LAND FOR STARTUP FARMS TO BEGIN, THE IDEA NOW IS TO WORK WITH NUMEROUS FARMS THAT HAVE INDEPENDENT LAND ACCESS AND A DIVERSE LEVEL OF FARM ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE. THIS ALLOWS FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH A RANGE OF FARMS, AND GLYNWOOD WORKS WITH THEM INDIVIDUALLY TO EVALUATE THEIR NEEDS AND DESIGN A STRATEGY TO SUPPORT THEM. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES CUSTOMIZED TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM THE EXPERTISE OF IN-HOUSE STAFF AND A NETWORK OF CONSULTANTS. AFTER CONDUCTING AN INITIAL INTAKE ASSESSMENT, THE STAFF WORKS WITH THE FARMERS TO CREATE A WORK PLAN TO ASSIST IN CAPTURING THE FARMERS' GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, TO MONITOR PROGRESS, AND TO TAILOR A SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT INCLUDES BUSINESS PLANNING, MARKETING STRATEGY, FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT AND TRAINING, FARM SYSTEMS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, LEGAL ADVISING AND LAND ACCESS/TENURE SUPPORT (THROUGH ITS ROLE AS A NETWORK PARTNER IN THE HUDSON VALLEY FARMLINK NETWORK). THROUGH FARMLINK, 175 MATCHES OF LAND OWNERS AND LAND SEEKERS IN THE HUDSON VALLEY HAVE BEEN MADE, INCLUDING 31 LAST YEAR. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: PROGRAM: PUBLIC PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR EMPOWERING CHANGEMAKERS INITIATIVE, WE SEEK TO ENACT A HEALTHY AND EQUITABLE REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEM BY MOTIVATING A DIVERSE AUDIENCE TO MAKE CHANGES WITHIN THEIR SPHERES OF INFLUENCE. WE DO THIS BY CREATING IMMERSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES RELATED TO FOOD AND FARMING FOR A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCES, AS WELL AS HOSTING ENGAGING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN 2019, THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE WE EDUCATED OVER 600 FOOD AND FARMING PROFESSIONALS THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND WEBINARS ON A VARIETY OF FOOD AND FARMING TOPICS. 95% OF PARTICIPANTS REPORT LEARNING NEW KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL WORK. IN 2019, WE EDUCATED 1500 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF REGIONAL FOOD, TOTALING OVER 2500 HOURS OF ENGAGEMENT. IN 2019, WE HOSTED AN AVERAGE OF EIGHT RETREATS FOR NON-PROFIT PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES, AND SUBSIDIZED THREE OF THEM THROUGH OUR RETREAT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. FINALLY, IN 2019 WE SOUGHT TO SERVE A MORE ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE AUDIENCE THROUGH THE OFFERINGS OF OUR EMPOWERING CHANGEMAKERS INITIATIVE: AS A RESULT, 55% OF FARM DINNER TICKETS WERE SUBSIDIZED THROUGH OUR NEW "PAY WHAT YOU CAN" MODEL. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: PROGRAM: PROMOTING REGIONAL FOOD PROMOTING REGIONAL FOOD - GLYNWOOD'S REGIONAL FOOD PROGRAM IMPLEMENTS COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH FOOD AND FARMING PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE REGION'S UNIQUE IDENTITY AND AGRICULTURAL VIABILITY. CREATING OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPANDING MARKETS FOR REGIONAL FOOD ENSURES HUDSON VALLEY FARMS ENDURE. KITCHEN CULTIVARS - FORMALLY LAUNCHED IN 2016, AFTER THE ENORMOUS SUCCESS OF THE HANK'S X-TRA SPECIAL BEAN GROW OUT, THE KITCHEN CULTIVARS PROJECT IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NON-PROFIT SEED LITERACY ORGANIZATION SEEDSHED. THIS PROJECT UNITES FARMERS, CHEFS, AND CULINARY RESEARCHERS IN DIVERSIFYING THE SEEDS USED FOR FOOD CROPS IN THE REGION BY IDENTIFYING, TRIALING, AND EVALUATING VARIETIES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PERFORM WELL IN THE FIELDS AND KITCHENS OF THE HUDSON VALLEY. THROUGH THIS WORK GLYNWOOD AIMS TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF AGROBIODIVERSITY TO SUSTAINING RESILIENT FARM ECOLOGIES AND DIVERSE FOOD COMMUNITIES. THIS YEAR THE PROJECT GREW AND EVALUATED LEAF AMARANTH, A CROP VALUED BY CULINARY COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE AND ESPECIALLY BY HUDSON VALLEY RESIDENTS WITH FOOD TRADITIONS FROM THE CARIBBEAN DIASPORA. WITH PARTICIPANTS, WE CONDUCTED RIGOROUS TRIALS OF 12 VARIETIES AND OBSERVATIONAL TRIALS OF2 52 VARIETIES OF LEAF AMARANTH. 100 PROFESSIONALS WERE EDUCATED ON TRIALING, GROWING, AND THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF AMARANTH. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM, WE HAVE LED TRIALS OF EIGHT CROP CATEGORIES INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF VARIETIES. HUDSON VALLEY CSA COALITION - BUILDING ON MORE THAN THREE YEARS OF GROUNDWORK WITH FELLOW REGIONAL CSA FARMERS, GLYNWOOD LED THE FORMATION OF THE HUDSON VALLEY CSA COALITION TO FOCUS ON COLLABORATIVE MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES THAT INCREASE AND DIVERSIFY CSA MEMBERSHIP IN THE REGION. IN EARLY 2016, WITH FUNDING FROM THE RALPH E. OGDEN FOUNDATION, GLYNWOOD ADMINISTERED A SURVEY TO MORE THAN 100 REGIONAL CSAS, AND 83% OF RESPONDENTS EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO EXPAND THEIR CSA SALES, SOLIDIFYING THE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A MORE FORMALIZED, COLLABORATIVE MARKETING EFFORT. IN 2017 THE GROUP LAUNCHED A COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE DIRECTORY OF NEARLY 70 HUDSON VALLEY CSA FARMS, WHICH HAS NOW GROWN TO OVER 100 FARMS AND IS AVAILABLE AT HUDSONVALLEYCSA.ORG. TO PROMOTE THE DIRECTORY, GLYNWOOD DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED A MULTI-PLATFORM MEDIA CAMPAIGN IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, 2018 AND 2019 THAT ENCOURAGED AREA RESIDENTS TO "CONSUME SOMETHING AWESOME" BY SIGNING UP WITH A CSA FARM. IN 2019 THIS PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN REACHED OVER 77,000 INDIVIDUALS. IN-PERSON OUTREACH IN 2018 AND 2019 WAS ACHIEVED THROUGH FIVE "CSA FAIRS" THAT HOSTED THIRTY FARMS AND DREW APPROXIMATELY 500 ATTENDEES. TO SUPPORT NEW CSA MEMBERS, THE COALITION CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 5,000 MAGAZINES WITH RECIPES AND TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST USE OF YOUR CSA SHARE. THE COALITION IS CURRENTLY EXPLORING STRATEGIES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CSA FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, SUPPORT CURRENT MEMBERSHIP IN ORDER TO INCREASE RETENTION, AND INCREASE COOPERATION AMONGST CSA FARMS. A THREE-YEAR USDA AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE'S FARMERS MARKET PROMOTION PROGRAM GRANT FURTHER SUPPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HUDSON VALLEY CSA COALITION. THIS FUNDING ESTABLISHED A FIRM OPERATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE COALITION, POSITIONING THE GROUP TO TAKE ON A VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT EXPAND MEMBERSHIP AND INCREASE PUBLIC ACCESS TO LOCALLY GROWN FOOD THROUGH THE CSA MODEL. IN 2019, A GUS SCHUMACHER NUTRITION INCENTIVE PROGRAM GRANT THROUGH THE USDA WAS AWARDED TO THE HUDSON VALLEY CSA COALITION THAT WILL BUILD ON THE CSA + FOOD ACCESS LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY THE COALITION. THE GRANT IS FUNDING A PILOT YEAR, IN 2020, FOR THE CSA IS A SNAP PROJECT THAT WILL MAKE 2,600 BOXES OF FRESH PRODUCE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE UTILIZING SNAP (FORMERLY FOOD STAMP) BENEFITS IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING TRAINING TO CSA FARMERS ON IMPLICIT BIAS AND INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY TO THEIR FARMS FOR MARGINALIZED GROUPS. CIDER PROJECT - GLYNWOOD'S WELL-ESTABLISHED CIDER PROJECT HAS CONTINUED TO SHEPHERD THE INDUSTRY IN THIS REGION AND BEYOND, AN EFFORT THAT HAS HELPED SPUR A 100% INCREASE IN CRAFT HARD CIDER PRODUCERS IN THE HUDSON VALLEY ALONE - 26 IN 2017, UP FROM 13 IN 2014. AT THE STATE LEVEL, NEW YORK NOW RANKS AS THE NATION'S LEADER IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF CIDERIES WITH AN INCREDIBLE INCREASE IN CIDER PRODUCERS FROM 5 TO 80+, BETWEEN 2011 AND 2017, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK CIDER ASSOCIATION. THIS HARD CIDER "RENAISSANCE," BOLSTERED BY INCREASED CONSUMER DEMAND FOR LOCALLY PRODUCED BEVERAGES, CAN BE ATTRIBUTED IN PART TO GLYNWOOD'S ONGOING EFFORTS TO BUILD A MARKET AND APPRECIATION FOR THIS DISTINCTIVE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT. AS PART OF OUR ONGOING WORK WITH CIDER PRODUCERS, GLYNWOOD LED THE FOUNDING OF THE FIRST STATEWIDE TRADE ASSOCIATION CHARGED WITH ADVANCING THE INTERESTS OF THE INDUSTRY, THE NEW YORK CIDER ASSOCIATION, WHICH HELD ITS THIRD ANNUAL MEETING THIS YEAR AND CONTINUES TO GROW IN SCOPE AND MEMBERSHIP. COLLABORATING WITH GLYNWOOD, NYCA TOOK OVER PRODUCTION OF CIDER WEEK NEW YORK CITY AND CIDER WEEK HUDSON VALLEY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HARD CIDER PRODUCER ANGRY ORCHARD, GLYNWOOD PLANTED FIVE THOUSAND CIDER APPLE TREES AT SIXTEEN NEW YORK ORCHARDS IN 2017 (INCLUDING 20 AT GLYNWOOD) AND THE GROWTH OF THESE TREES CONTINUES TO BE MONITORED. THIS PARTNERSHIP HAS ALSO LED TOURS OF HUDSON VALLEY ORCHARDS AND CIDERIES FOR CULINARY PROFESSIONALS, WITH AN AIM TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY AND PERCEIVED VALUE OF CIDER AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE HUDSON VALLEY'S CIDER CULTURE. TRAINING - GLYNWOOD WORKED WITH VARIOUS PARTNERS IN 2019 TO DELIVER PROFESSIONAL LEVEL TRAINING RELEVANT TO THE FOOD AND FARMING SECTOR. THESE INCLUDED: A WORKSHOP ON COOPERATIVE FARM BUSINESS PRACTICES FOR AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 50 FARMERS, TWO GATHERINGS FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND FOOD PROFESSIONALS WORKING AT THE NEXUS OF REGIONAL AGRICULTURE AND HUMAN HEALTH, A HIGH LEVEL COURSE FOR MORE THAN THIRTY CIDER MAKERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON SENSORY ANALYSIS DELIVERED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CIDER INSTITUTE OF NORTH AMERICA.
