California FarmLink Welcomes our New Program Manager - Bruce Shimizu
|
Bruce Shimizu is a fourth
generation Sonoma
County native, born and
raised on a chicken ranch in Cotati. He attended local public schools and is
the first college graduate in his family.
Bruce's career path has been varied, but community service
has always been the focus of his efforts. As a young boy, his elders taught him
that helping others was a noble calling. Inspired by JFK's "ask not" speech,
his personal mission has been "to ask
what he could do..."
For the past 20 years, he has been
involved with regional non-profits and his own development company to provide
affordable housing opportunities for over 300 working families in communities throughout
Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.
Prior to his involvement in
affordable housing, he was a medic in the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Youth
Director for the Japanese American Citizens League, and practiced Landscape
Architecture in San Luis Obispo and Mill Valley.
He has an AA from the College of Marin, a BS in Landscape Architecture and is a MS
candidate in Architecture from Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo.
We're very pleased to have Bruce
join us and excited at the opportunity this provides the organization to grow
and prosper. |

Celebrating Ten Years of
Serving California's
Farmers |
|
On August 30, 2009, California FarmLink and over 100 of its
friends, farmers, funders, and new acquaintances wiled away the afternoon at
Oak Hill Farm in Glen Ellen, CA, celebrating ten years of working to keep land
in agriculture and farmers on that land. We were blessed with perfect weather,
a bucolic setting at the hundred year old white barn, surrounded by fields of
fruit, flowers, giant oaks and peak bounty of summer vegetables. Enjoying
freshly prepared bite sized samples of local lamb, goat, cheeses, pizzas loaded
with veggies, gazpacho, and vivid juicy organic strawberries picked that day in
Watsonville CA. Local wines and music added to the mid summer afternoon, as
well as a lengthy tour of some of the 600 acre diverse farm that is Oak Hill.
Midway through the afternoon, Executive Director Steve
Schwartz shared watershed moments for California FarmLink over these past ten
years, including challenges, successes, and what the future holds (see Steve's
editorial for details).
Board Chair and a partner in Quetzal Farm, Keith Abeles,
shared his views on the growth of the organization," FarmLink has significantly evolved since its start 10
years ago. We are now offering a number of relevant programs that help aspiring
and retiring farmers and families meet their needs, and keep land in active
farming.
We
are enjoying our success, but remain focused on our long term goals, and all
the work that lies ahead."
 Peter Graff, Chairman of California Coastal Rural
Development Corporation, (Rtd.) referring to stories of his long experience
with financing farmers, revealed his thoughts on what the next generation of
farmers will need to be financially viable.
As guests strolled under the oaks, sipping wine and
assessing their options from the silent auction, others listened to farmers
who've worked with us sharing their stories. One of those was Paul Hamilton of
Greenhearts Family Farm, a truly collaborative project that offers weekly
produce and other add-ons to families from San Francisco
to Morgan Hill.
FarmLink was helpful in linking Paul and Aurora to their current farming enterprise.
Paul Hamilton and Aurora Wilson of Greenhearts Family Farm
A second team - Joel and Carleen Weirauch, located here in Sonoma County
recounted their struggles to find land, wend their way through regulatory hoops
to be able to make sheep milk cheese, and how they are innovatively creating
what they will need: a mobile milking parlor and mobile cheese-making
structure. FarmLink helped them find land to expand their sheep herd and they
hope to partner with their new landlords on a farm stand.
California FarmLink Outreach Coordinator Reggie Knox
talks with Joel and Carleen Weirauch
Schwartz presented Ann Chambers,
landowner/farmer, with our "Distinguished Farm Landowner of the Year" Award for
linking up with two separate farming operations and mentoring them both. The
Columbia Foundation and Rabobank received the "Steward of Family Farming" Award
for their strong support of FarmLink's programs. Frank Bravo, of Rabobank, said, "FarmLink serves a critical part of
California's agricultural economy - small-scale and first-time farm owners -
and Rabobank is proud to be able to expand our support for the FarmLink loan
program. Our contribution is part of our continuing effort to give back to the
communities where we do business."
Many of those who provided support, food, wine are or have
been clients of California FarmLink.

California FarmLink
staff presentation at national land trust conference in Oregon confirms need
for deeper consideration of working
landscapes; FarmLink to follow up with land trust professional development
workshop in Marin this December.
The Land Trust Alliance (LTA) hosted this year's national
Rally at Portland's
'green' Convention Center in mid-October.
In attendance were over 2,000 conservation professionals-government
employees, legal and real estate professionals, academics, and in greatest
proportion, land trust personnel. Land trusts are nonprofit and government
organizations whose mission is to preserve land for open space, habitat,
historical value, or even working use such as agriculture, through voluntary
agreements with landowners.
California FarmLink has consistently promoted the use of
conservation easements-property development rights donated or sold to a land
trust-as a means of lowering land prices and helping newer farmers afford to
purchase. When land trusts are able to pay a retiring farmer for those
development rights, it frees up equity from the land and enables that owner to
rest assured that the land won't be turned into subdivisions. Still, there is concern that this easement
approach is not enough. Many farm properties, even when protected by easements,
are still more valuable as rural estates or "ranchettes" than a bona fide
farmer can muster using agricultural income alone, and are easily sold to
non-farmers. Land trusts are asking how farms can be preserved for active
agricultural use, and how can we assure they'll be sold at a price farmers can
actually afford?
For this year's LTA Rally, FarmLink's Central Valley
Regional Program Coordinator Kendra Johnson facilitated the workshop "When
Conservation Easements Aren't Enough." Participants
viewed a film about a Yolo
County farm working on a
cutting-edge easement, and a discussion with Yolo Land Trust about that project.
The workshop explored the need to go beyond traditional conservation easements
to better protect working farms and those who farm them. Participants were
responsive and enthusiastic, demonstrating what a timely topic this is.
|
|
On
December 10, California FarmLink will delve deeper into this topic with
a day-long workshop for conservation professionals on how to improve
farm succession and viability on preserved land. The workshop will be
held at the beautiful Marin Headlands Institute and will feature
presentations by an experienced appraiser, attorney, farmers, and other
experts on farm preservation. We have support for this event through
the LASTS Project and Columbia Foundation.

Letter from the Director

Watershed Moments for California
FarmLink
California FarmLink's origins include my years learning
about the promise of sustainable agriculture as a Peace Corps Volunteer in
Thailand; watching prime
farmland paved over near Sacramento; and before
that hearing about my father's early days on a small farm in Czechoslovakia.
Founding the organization some 10 years ago, our team worked to build on the
ideas of Jana Nairn of Merced and the FarmLink groups around the
country. We started with a 150 sq. ft. office, a $50 donation and a mission: To
build family farming and conserve farmland in California by linking aspiring and retiring
farmers, and facilitating inter-generational farm
transitions.
We've
worked to empower people to secure the resources they need and negotiate
agreements that allow them to have a sustainable business. A solid hold of the
land -tenure- allows one to invest in soil, crop rotations, community based
direct marketing. I never tell people that they should stop what they're doing
and become farmers. However, thousands have come to us with a passion for and
commitment to agriculture. And we've responded with resources to pursue goals
and tackle challenges. We do this with a focus on making sure their decisions
make solid business sense. FarmLink's team has trained over 2,500 farmers, and
provided one-on-one technical assistance to over 3,000. In just the last three
years we've helped approximately 50 farmers secure tenure agreements ranging up
to 100+ acres in size.
Equity is the key to attracting investment; and having
stability that goes beyond the short-term ups and downs of business life on the
farm. So California FarmLink developed two "equity building programs". The
Individual Development Account or "IDA" matched savings program offers more than
money to clients. It provides the confidence that comes from a team of
professionals saying 'Out of a pool of farmers you're the one we're going to
invest in because we think you'll be growing your business'. We knew the IDA
program was exciting, but when the AP picked up the story, it drew national
attention and later became the model for the 2008 Federal Farm Bill program. We
then launched the Farm Opportunities Loan Program. It is one of less than 10
around the nation offered to small farmers by non-profit organizations. With the
crucial help of Cal Coastal Rural Development Corporation we have made almost
$600,000 in loans to small farmers and ranchers. The loans are guaranteed by
USDA, which allowed us to secure over $1.4 million in investment from banks,
foundations and private individuals.
We've
worked for 10 years to go beyond protecting open space to make sure working
landscapes could be protected for productive agriculture by a new generation of
farmers and ranchers. An outcome of this is development and promotion of
easement language that allows landowners to protect land from development while
ensuring it will be farmed in perpetuity. This has been useful to private land
trusts and the Coastal Commission as they look to enhance conventional
conservation easement tools. Our "Farmer's Guide to Securing Land" has received national interest. This
publication was a team effort and offered 13 models including descriptions, case
studies, and a CD with interactive templates.
The
impacts of our work go beyond numbers to touching lives: an immigrant farmworker
who we helped realize a dream of owning 40 acres, where he had worked as an
employee; a woman farmer who overcame bankruptcy to be linked to land and a
senior farmer's assistance, IDA match savings and then FarmLink's operating
financing; a young couple with a new baby who had lost their lease but were
connected to a home with land and within months had a 50 person CSA; or a family
we linked, connected with a 140 acre farm they purchased from a conservation
group saving 40% off market value.
'Speaking truth to power' has led to collaborations with
key legislators and members of Congress including State Senator Pat Wiggins,
Congressman Farr, Senators Boxer and Feinstein and others who stepped up on
behalf of beginning farmers to advance programs that would provide access to
affordable capital, technical assistance and training. Grassroots advocacy took
the form of delivering many hundreds of letters which complemented trips to
Washington, D.C. with farmer clients who explained
benefits to lawmakers.
Good
news over the last few months bodes well for a bright future for California
FarmLink. We received commitments for our two largest grants, ranking in the
very top of the national Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program
competition. Though these funds represent just over 50% of our budget they will
provide a foundation for leveraging resources from traditional supporters
including: generous individuals, banks like Wells Fargo, Rabobank, Comerica,
Union Bank of California and Bank of America, and
Foundations including the Columbia Foundation and Gaia Fund.
I
especially want to acknowledge those who have contributed so much of their time
and energy to get us here. We have benefitted so much from the contributions of
Board Chair Keith Abeles and Board Members David Katz and Lawrence Jaffe who
have committed years of service providing support and guidance. I want to thank
our professional staff who work hard with little material gain and go the extra
mile to assist clients. Our core staff over the years: Danielle LeGrand, Alan
Kasparian, Reggie Knox, Linda Peterson, Kendra Johnson, Ellen Peskin and Andrea
Krout. Also, VISTA's and interns who donated
over 10,000 hours of service. All these people push me and the organization to
work harder, deliver more, be more responsive to realize California FarmLink's
mission. California FarmLink has been recognized for services across the
agriculture spectrum, innovation with new models, partnerships, and focused hard
work. We've never had a stronger board and staff team. I'm looking forward to
California FarmLink's next decade of building the future of family
farming.

Farm Tours Focus on Land
Leasing Opportunities in 30 Counties
|
|
October marked the beginning of full on linking for aspiring
farmers. Tours are happening all over the state.
The Petaluma tour kicked off
linking season in the North
Coast region. Despite the
torrential downpour, tour attendance was great! The farms visited ranged from two
to 27 acres and sprawled across western Petaluma.
With 30mph winds and pelting rain the farmers took a quick look at the
properties and then headed for shelter under trees or in outbuildings to talk
with land owners about the properties. "I considered canceling the tour until I
started receiving phone calls from farmers making sure the tour was still
happening. It is wonderful to see how serious and ambitious the farmers were
that joined the tour and weathered the storm!" said Andrea Krout North Coast
Regional Program Coordinator.
Intrepid farmers, Jan
Revis, Mike Adams, and Joan Zeleny brave the first fall storm in Petaluma as part of the
tour of available lease sites.
Contact your Regional Outreach Coordinator for tour
schedules, or to schedule a specific farm visit to a property you want to see.

Eco-Farm
Conference 2010!
|
|
The 2010 Eco-Farm Conference will be held January 20 to 23rd
at Asilomar Conference
Center in Pacific Grove. California FarmLink
participates on the conference planning committee and has been helping to shape
programming for new farmers.
This
year all seven workshop sessions will include at least one workshop for
beginning farmers. Also, CPA Poppy Davis of the USDA Risk Management
Agency will lead her practical, popular and fun sessions on farm bookkeeping
and income taxes. Above all don't forget to attend the Mixer hosted by California
FarmLink and Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) at 5:30 pm
Thursday evening at Asilomar - a chance to meet landowners and mingle with
other aspiring farmers.
Thanks to the EcoFarm GenNext partnership with California FarmLink, funded by the USDA
Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program, EcoFarm will offer seven
beginning farmer scholarships worth $250 each to this year's conference.
Awardees may use the funds for any combination of conference attendance,
lodging, or bus tours. To qualify, you must be currently farming and have been
farming for 10 years or less. Scholarship applications are available at www.eco-farm.org and are due November 30,
2009.
One example of the new and beginning farmer
workshops being offered:
Win-Win On-Farm
Mentorships - Almost ready to start your own farm, but still need to gain some
experience? Learn how to seek out and structure a mentorship that will get you
where you need to be. Do you want to become a better mentor? Then this workshop
is for you too. What are the important qualities to look for in a mentor? What
are the key elements of curriculum to convey to your interns by the time they
leave? How do you get goals and expectations on the table up front? Is a
contract necessary? We will explore the nuts and bolts of farm mentorships with
experienced mentor farmers and architects of a new mentor program in California. An important
facet of this program will be to help farmer mentors pass on business skills in
addition to production skills. CA FarmLink and EcoFarm are collaborating this
year on a mentorship network for next generation farmers which builds on what
we've learned from other farm mentor programs. Speakers: Carl Rosato, Nigel
Walker, Steve Schwartz (funding from USDA
Risk Management Agency)
Other beginning farmer workshops
include: Sharp Pencil Farming, Small Farm Finance & Seasonal Cash Flow, and
Basic Pest Control Using Biological Methods.
