CAFF Partner Farm Application
Hello and welcome - we are glad you're here!

Please complete the following form accurately and completely to submit your application for CAFF's 2021 partner farm cohort. All applications are open until filled. You will be notified of the farm's application status on a rolling basis.

Until December 2021, CAFF is looking to partner with up to five produce farms across California to help them improve their food safety practices and get into compliance with state and federal food safety regulations. The program will last approximately three months from start to finish, creating a shorter and more intensive partnership to reach a farm's food safety goals.

If your farm is motivated to improve your food safety practices, but just needs a little extra guidance and support  -- this program is for you! Throughout the three month collaboration, we will work together during multiple in-person farm visits and phone calls to determine a food safety plan of action for your farm and steps to complete it. Near the end of the collaboration, the farm will host a field day and invite farmer friends to learn about the food safety improvements implemented during their partnership. If pandemic restrictions won't permit on-farm gatherings, a video project will be created as an educational tool to share your story and developed for your peer farming community.

Below is a brief breakdown of the key actions CAFF and the farm partner will do throughout the collaboration. If you're interested in learning more please fill out this brief application and we will be in touch soon!
