WE DID IT!! ⁠ ⁠ On May 8th, amidst a public he WE DID IT!! ⁠ ⁠ On May 8th, amidst a public health crisis and resulting disruptions to the food supply chain, we signed a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of the property on Birchville Road in North San Juan. The property includes 10 cultivated acres that produce over 40 different crops, a single-family home plus 2,400 square foot barn that would be made accessible to the farmers. The land sits adjacent to the Pine Grove Reservoir that provides the property with irrigation water and fire protection. In addition, the parcel has 20 acres of undeveloped woodlands that offer opportunities for habitat restoration, trails and other types of agriculture.⁠ ⁠ Bear Yuba Land Trust has sinced closed the transaction and secured the land! Our role, moving forward as the landowner and manager will be to keep farmer access to the land affordable, manage the lease, collect fees, pay taxes and expenses and ensure compliance with lease terms. Lease revenue will be used by Bear Yuba Land Trust for management of the property and lease; any revenue earned beyond that will be held in an endowment fund and applied toward other Forever Farms program activities.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in our bio to READ MORE
