The Farm to Market program couples consumer education with technical assistance in tracing value through the supply chain. CAFF works with food service leaders to provide staff trainings, education for students, and collaborative purchasing and resource sharing structures. CAFF's Farm to Cafeteria program grows connections between farmers, communities, and institutions. With over 20 years of experience working with local farms and institutions, we are able to help institutional food service operations develop local procurement goals and implement farm to cafeteria programs. In 2017, CAFF facilitated over $800,000 in sales for California family farms through our initiatives and activities: Good Food Marketplace, Purchasing Collaboratives, Farm Direct, and Farm to School. CAFF Food Safety program, now in its tenth year, continues to provide comprehensive food safety technical assistance across California. Since 2007, CAFF's Food Safety program has reached nearly 3,000 growers and helped over 250 farms develop farmfood safety plans. 66517 Policy - CAFF has been advocating for family farmers in the Ca1ifornia legislature since 1978. We continue that work today by focusing on state and federal policies, defending the rights of family farmers, as we11 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. It is CAFF's goal to change the course of agriculture, and to do that we need to influence institutions, commodity boards, state and federal agencies, and legislators who set public policy. CAFF is proud of our history of successful legislative efforts and our policy work. CAFF supported eleven bills that successfully passed through the California state legislature in 2017. Topics ranged from farmland conservancy, to Healthy Soils program funding, to groundwater protection. We will continue collaborating with others in support of climate-smart farming legislation in the years to come. 191538 35000 Climate - Climate Smart Farming is an on-the-ground program that works with farmers, researchers, policy makers, and other agricultural organizations to promote practices and farming systems that help mitigate and adapt to climate change through improving soil health and carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural operations. CAFF is launching pilot programs throughout the state to Jay the groundwork for an inclusive network of partnerships and knowledge sharing to promote climate smart farming throughout California. 1114819 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 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 UDI LAZIMY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICH COLLINS BOARD CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 TOMMY IRVINE CPA TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 SHEV RUSH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAWNIE ANDRAK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA LASHBROOK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BOB KNIGHT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PETE PRICE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL OLSON VICE PRESIDENT & SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNEMARIE BROWN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GOWAN BATIST DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE DEL SIGNORE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 107595 0 0 107595 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 19850 42337 468839 745591 16449 1276617 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENU 561000 238056 238056 238056 0 42337 23742 -23742 -23742 REIMBURSEMENTS AND OTH 110000 31940 31940 31940 1522871 269996 0 -23742 35000 35000 897883 633521 220000 44362 68470 47968 16658 3844 76991 54340 18870 3781 140235 123390 16823 22 4756 4756 8931 6262 2175 494 14199 10082 3501 616 73701 51462 17871 4368 53701 38875 13500 1326 19388 13793 4790 805 7229 7229 8891 6208 2156 527 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 43144 43144 EQUIPMENT AND OTHER REN 30185 22025 7649 511 OTHER 21367 2 1366 19999 TELEPHONE 10314 7238 2513 563 25124 16753 7829 542 1539509 1114819 342930 81760 X 107532 25006 53407 31802 174321 219578 30384 19486 201200 201200 0 0 5575 4950 371219 300822 56203 61184 13642 4100 134461 73252 204306 138536 X -155522 -253791 322435 416077 166913 162286 371219 300822 X -16638 12011 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 1054740 1296028 992260 998601 1276617 5618246 543175 411179 355608 306810 218648 1835420 1597915 1707207 1347868 1305411 1495265 7453666 0 0 0 7453666 10776 19955 30277 19408 80416 10776 19955 30277 19408 80416 -16373 915 -890 -16348 37219 2903 18950 8198 67270 1592318 1765296 1349881 1354638 1522871 7585004 0.98270 0.98380 0.01060 0.01090 X 20400 20400 1539510 1559910 227996 56999 0 0 230982 226419 205029 227996 890426 1335639 8716 16807 28119 20400 74042 57746 56605 51257 56999 222607 333911 4104 4104 201200 201200 0 0 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: DIRECT EXPENSES OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: DIRECT EXPENSES OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS AGRARIAN GAMES 23993 23993 16999 GUILD RAISING 14574 14574 6303 3770 3770 440 42337 42337 23742 23742 -23742 1 Cash grant 8 35000 Cash value Part I, Line 2: The Board and Executive Director review and approve the grants made to Farmers.
