The Good Humus Farm Preservation Project
A farm and community partnership to ensure local food availability.
Local farmers Jeff and Annie Main have embarked on the Good Humus Farm Preservation Project to preserve their farm as an organic farm and keep it affordable for farmers in the future. They have created an agricultural easement to be held in perpetuity by a Land Trust.
How does the easement work?
• The land must always be farmed
• The land must be farmed sustainably
• The farmer must live on the land
• No less than 50% of the farmer’s
income must be derived from farming
Only the actual agricultural value of the farm property will remain, making the farm affordable to the next farmer—and the next.
The Good Humus Farm Preservation Project requires the participation of both the farm and the community they feed. As a seller and promoter of local organic foods, the Co-op has committed continued support of this project.
Slow Food Yolo
The Davis Food Co-op and Slow Food Yolo share the common goal of providing local, sustainable and delicious food to our community. By working together, these two organizations aim to further educate our community about the true value of our food and the farmers who bring it to us.
Look for Slow Food Yolo events—often individually sponsored by the Co-op—to learn more about our local food system and the International Slow Food Movement.
IRH—The Institute for Restorative Health
The Institute for Restorative Health is an integrative healing and wellness center which brings together the best practices of conventional, complementary and alternative medicine to restore patient hope, health and vitality.
They are a group of dedicated providers who believe that health is achieved by creating a balance between body, mind, spirit and environment. Their approach is patient-centered and focuses on treating the whole person, not just the symptom or disease.
The Davis Food Co-op promotes good, whole foods as an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. The Co-op is proud to partner with the IRH to maintain and improve our community's health.
