SUMMARY:A Tiered Approach to IPM: Beneficial Birds and Gopher Trapping
DESCRIPTION:Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) and UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) invites you to a free\, in-person event with Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company in Fairfield\, CA. At this Biologically Integrated Farming Systems (BIFS) field day\, we will discuss key integrated pest management practices for organic and sustainable farms\, including demos on how to set up songbird nest boxes and effectively use gopher traps. \nFarmer and owner\, Ann Fiorello Sievers\, will share how Il Fiorello grows and mills olives for oil production\, in addition to fruits and veggies that go into their value-added products and their bistro. They are dedicated to growing everything organically and sustainably. They compost food waste from the bistro\, have many owl and bird boxes\, intercrop in the orchard middles\, and practice many other sustainable methods on the farm. \nDr. Roger Baldwin will cover some control techniques for burrowing rodents\, including gophers and voles\, such as using biological control\, habitat modification\, cultural practices\, exclusion\, and trapping. Dr. Breanna Martenico will discuss beneficial birds to control burrowing rodents as well as other pests\, and how to promote more bird diversity on your farm. Dr. Baldwin will then demonstrate how to set up gopher traps\, and Tom Clark will demonstrate how to install a songbird nest box. We will wrap up with a discussion of how to practically implement practices like these in order to transition to organic. \nSpeakers:\nAnn Fiorello Sievers\, Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company\nDr. Breanna Martinico\, Human-Wildlife Interactions Advisor\, UC Cooperative Extension\nDr. Roger Baldwin\, Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution Specialist\, UC Cooperative Extension\nTom Clark\, Consultant\, Clark’s Sustainable Systems \nDetails:\n1.5 hours of DPR CEUs applied for. \nThe address for the event is 2625 Mankas Corner Rd\, Fairfield\, CA 94534.

SUMMARY:Farm Grants 101
DESCRIPTION:Are you a farmer looking to access grants and resources to support your operation? Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to bridge the gap in grant opportunities\, especially for underrepresented communities like our Southeast Asian (SEA) farmers. \nAt a recent F3 Partner Gathering\, LeeXeng from Fresno BIPOC Produce shared\, “My people are always the last ones to know about grants and resource opportunities.” While many programs focus on language courses and general farming resources\, few address the need for farmers to gain confidence in grant writing. This workshop will tackle exactly that! \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nHow to navigate and utilize CAFF resources effectively\nBasic tips for finding and applying to grants\nGuidance on the CAFF Directory to identify funding opportunities\nPractical steps to enhance your applications\n\nOur goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to access vital grants and improve your farm’s sustainability. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to take control of your farm’s future! Whether you’re new to grants or just need a refresher\, this workshop is for you.
