How can a women-owned farm cooperative and a conservation agency team up to build a more resilient and productive farm? Find out in our latest episode! We’re sitting down with Jasmine from the inspiring Redwood Roots Farm—a worker-owned cooperative—and Megan & Petra from the Humboldt County Resource Conservation District (RCD).

They unpack their powerful partnership, which started with the creation of a comprehensive Carbon Farm Plan. Listen in to learn:

🍃 What a Carbon Farm Plan really is and how it goes beyond paperwork to map out whole-farm health.

🤝 How cooperative structure fosters collaboration and creates the perfect conditions to implement big conservation dreams.

💰 How the RCD helps navigate grants and funding (like for compost and hedgerows!), turning plans into action.

🌿 The tangible benefits they’ve already seen: from boosted production and healthier plants to stronger climate resilience.

🎪 Bonus: Hear about community events like Worm Fest and farm potlucks that root this work in joy and connection. This is a story about good timing, shared goals, and how building the right partnerships can help farmers not just sustain their land, but help it thrive.
