The Almond Project is asking the tough questions to build a more sustainable and resilient future for almonds. ?? We began as a small group of stakeholders – from third-generation almond growers (Pacific Ag Management) and processors (Treehouse California Almonds, LLC.) to pioneering food brands (Simple Mills, Daily Harvest, and Cappello's) – and we're growing! Our new project work, supported by recently added partners like Justin's and GOOD TO GO, requires that more food companies, farmers, retailers, transporters, handlers, processors, and manufacturers join The Almond Project. Together, we can move beyond opposition, understand diverse perspectives, and build a brighter future for the Central Valley.

We're pleased to introduce The Elderberry Project, a ground-breaking, farm-to-shelf initiative. Focused on the native Western Blue Elderberry, the project aims to build watershed resilience and support our agricultural community while bringing a climate-appropriate crop to the marketplace. This innovative initiative funded by the USDA Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities, will establish thousands of plantings across multiple landscapes in our Central Coast region, support farmers and ranchers in the maintenance and harvest of the crop, build out a regional processing facility, develop new brand partnerships and products, and support education and storytelling through a range of platforms over the next five years. We’re honored to collaborate with a diverse group of regional partners on this multi-year initiative to provide a holistic solution supporting ecological regeneration, community resilience, and marketplace diversification. Our partners include; Community Environmental Council (CEC) ?? California Environmental Nonprofit, Chamberlin Ranch, Wild Farm Lands Foundation, Orella Ranch, The?Santa Ynez Chumash Environmental Office, UCANR including UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, Propagate, Beyond the Farm (a consultancy focused on building marketplace supply of climate smart ingredients), Jungle Beverage Company, JustOne Organics, and Cage Free Productions. Thank you to Santa Barbara Independent for highlighting this regional initiative as a cover story! #regenerativeagriculture #agriculture #nonprofit #climateresilience #climatesmart #climatesmartagriculture https://lnkd.in/eBeq5mpz

Reflecting on the past five years, we want to take a moment to express gratitude for all of you. Your support has been instrumental in building the foundation for resilient food systems that have the power to positively impact the land, our health, and our community as a whole. Our organization’s success lies in creating local solutions, with diverse regional partners, aimed at global impact. This past year we've focused heavily on developing on-the-ground solutions focused on restoring our watersheds, and improving community and ecological health; beginning at our 1,000-acre living laboratory, and expanding well beyond our fenceline. With your support, we’ve: - Influenced 112,244 acres through our trainings and consulting - Engaged 860 community members through our educational events? - Trained 144 farmers and ranchers through our "All-Hands-On" workshops and Savory courses We are actively implementing solutions that reimagine how we raise livestock and grow keystone crops, including grapes, cotton, cattle, and almonds. This work has the potential to impact hundreds of thousands of acres across California and Mediterranean regions worldwide. As we approach 2024, your support is crucial. Our team has built a record of leadership and success since our founding in 2018, and we have the potential to broaden and deepen our impact in the coming year. With your help, we can create a more resilient and bountiful future for ourselves and generations to come. Every gift, big or small, has a tangible impact on the ground.
