Reimbursement for the cost of ten full acres of seed
An additional $100/acre for the next 100 acres (first come first served)
A Grower’s Guide to help manage establishment and implementation
Invitations to annual educational events
Guidance and support to manage carbon farming projects
Eligibility:
Domestically owned farms
Located in California, Oregon, Washington, or Arizona
