February 2026 (Apply by November 15, 2025)- The Climate Resilient Farmer Training Program: The North Coast Growers’ Association (NCGA), in collaboration with the Del Norte & Tribal Lands (DNATL) Community Food Council, are accepting applications for the next cohort of a comprehensive, no-cost farmer training program. Following two successful previous trainings and one currently in progress, this 15-month program is designed to equip a new generation of farmers and food sovereignty leaders with the skills in climate-adaptive production and business management needed to build successful agricultural enterprises. The program is tailored to the unique climate, geography, and markets of the North Coast region, incorporating Indigenous perspectives to provide valuable context. The program's core strength is its farmer-to-farmer model, featuring seasoned local farmers who share invaluable, practical perspectives. It is ideal for individuals currently working on a farm, those active in a community or food sovereignty garden, or those in the first few years of their own farm operation.
