Form 990, Part III, Line 4dProgram Service Expenses 58,508, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 42,293 THE SIERRA GARDENS program enhances health and food access by supporting families and community organizations in growing fruits and vegetables providing garden beds plus two years of gardening and cooking classes, mentorship and starts. Since the program began, Sierra Harvest has supported 40 gardens and seen an 83 reduction in participants that had to regularly skip a meal. 68 of the program participants grew NONE of the produce their family ate before the program, and now 100 grow at least 25 of the produce their family eats.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4dProgram Service Expenses 21,329, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 10,495 THE FARM INSTITUTE is a new program in 2016 that works alongside farmers and ranchers to support an increase in sustainably grown fresh food in Nevada County. Our programs are designed to build the prosperity of ecologically sustainable producers, to increase the land in sustainable production, and to train more beginning farmers as our older generation of producers retire. Through our Farm Crew training program, we recruit, help place, and train beginning farmers in sustainable agriculture production. Farm Biz, a four-month business skill-building course, brings small business professionals and educators to our local farmers and ranchers. Our Land Match program works to connect sustainable farmers and ranchers with locally available agricultural land.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4dProgram Service Expenses 4,666, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 662 FOOD ADVOCACY- We engage 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 Policy Council which allows us to weigh in on statewide food and farming policies that impact Nevada County. The NCFPC, made up of 30 local food and farming organizations, has embarked on a food system assessment to study the impacts of the current industrialized food system present in the county and invest in a more vibrant local food system built on a strong sense of community.

We do this through tastings, salad bars, California Thursdays promotion, supporting individual school districts with their goals to serve scratch cooked meals, and by connecting local farms to school meal providers.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4aTHE FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAM is currently in twenty-two Nevada County schools and reaches over 6700 students 96 of the K-8 students in the Western Nevada County. Sierra Harvest connects each school with a local farm partner. This farmer hosts farm field trips at their farms, provides produce for a weekly produce stand at the school, and comes into the classroom to share farming stories and activities with the kids. We also do monthly Harvest of the Month tastings of local, seasonal fruits and vegetables delivered to classrooms along with educator curriculum and a family newsletter. Our Tasting Week brings guest chefs from around the county into hundreds of classrooms to cook simple, seasonal meals. Our pre and post-test survey data indicate that of the students who participate in our Farm to School programming, 54 more students like the fruits and veggies they try during Harvest of the Month tastings than before the tasting, 80 more students can name a farmer, and 33 more students report that their families shop directly from farmers.
