Educational Events
THE EXPERIENCE — Since the farm’s beginning; educating the people on sustainable farming practices has been a top priority. CA- PAY ORGANIC offers the perfect setting for school groups of all ages to truly experience a farm. Students will enjoy learning about sustainable farming and what it takes to bring fruit and vegetables to the table. Come to the farm and enjoy the following:
FARM TALK — hear about the many steps it takes to run a farm from planning, plowing, watering, harvesting and packing.
TRACTOR-TRAM RIDES — take a tractor-tram ride around the farm and get your hands dirty by participating in a harvest activity. Harvest a crop and take home something for dinner that night.
PLANTING A CROP — Learn how to plant a seedling.
RELEASE LADYBUGS — Release ladybugs into the fields so that plants can easily defend themselves.
COMPOST ACTIVITY — Learn about the steps and breakdown process of making compost, which is a key ingredient to organic farming.
FARM-FRESH SNACK — Enjoy a fresh, seasonal fruit or veg- etable harvested right from our farm.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH — Sustainable agriculture is not only about caring for the land but also about caring for the health and well-being of a community.
Kathleen Barsotti Non-Profit
For Sustainable Agriculture
The KATHLEEN BARSOTTI NON-PROFIT was created in memory of Kathleen Barsotti, a pioneer in the organic and sus- tainable agriculture movement and founder of Farm Fresh To You, a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) service, delivering farm-fresh, local, organic produce to homes and offices in Cali- fornia. The non-profit was established to promote the method of agriculture Kathy supported that preserves the land for future gen- erations, protects the people who work on the farm and contributes to the local economy.
In 2009, the KATHLEEN BARSOTTI NON-PROFIT began its activities by awarding a $500 scholarship to a young woman planning to study viticulture. That same year, the non-profit gave out 71 backpacks complete with age-appropriate school supplies to the children of farm workers in the Capay Valley.
Today, the non-profit awards an annual scholarship to students planning on pursuing a field related to sustainable agriculture and in 2015 donated 851 backpacks to farmworkers’ children.
Partnering With Regional Food Banks
FARM FRESH TO YOU and CAPAY ORGANIC have partnered with a number of food banks, selling produce at cost and donating produce.
Last year, the farm donated 100,000 lbs. of produce to the Sac- ramento Food Bank and Family Services providing nearly 2,000 households with a four-day supply of organic fruits and vegetables. In the first year of our Donate-A-Box program, Farm Fresh To You and its customers donated over 10,000 boxes of fresh produce to six food bank partners in California, including the SF-Marin Food Bank, Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services, Yolo County Food Bank, Volunteers of America LA, Westside Food Bank (Los Angeles) and The Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank.
