Spend an evening on Rugged Roots Farm creating bouquets with farm-fresh, autumnal flowers to benefit Lost Sierra Food Project. From 5:30 to 7pm on Thursday, Sept. 17th LSFP staff will offer tips and tricks about harvesting, storing flowers and making arrangements and supply a diverse array of bouquet ingredients sourced from our 2.5 acre regenerative farm.

This is a fundraiser for Lost Sierra Food Project's food access, farm education, and workforce development programs. A minimum donation of $40 is required to create at least two bouquets. Registration is required.

Dear LSFP community,
If you have been following along this summer, you know that we’ve had a challenging growing season. Two things are true right now; the farm is abundantly beautiful with fall crops, school field trips, and full farm stands…AND our nonprofit is in a difficult financial position with heavy grant dependency. Three of the grants that have helped grow and sustain us are sunsetting. Despite many applications, we haven’t secured the next round of funding.

Now is the time to support LSFP and our small farm endeavor. The good news is that there are several ways to contribute to our community project right now.

If you are a Co-op shopper, September is our “Round-up at the Register” month. Everytime you shop this month, you have an opportunity to donate to our successful programs like Farm to School, paid high school internships, and Farm Camp. Thanks to Feather River Food Co-op, this fundraiser is open until September 30th.

Another way to show support is to shop at the last Quincy Farmers Market of the year–tomorrow at Rich Bar from 5-7:30pm. We will be bringing lots of autumn goodies. If we want a farmers market to survive, we’ve got to shop it!

Love flowers? Attend our fall floral workshop and fundraiser on Thursday, Sept 17th at 5:30pm. There are limited spots. Register today by visiting our website.

Lastly, bring your family and friends to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, October 3rd. This is our biggest fundraising event of the year and sales this year are extra important. We aim to keep prices fair for working families. Help us spread the word to make this the best pumpkin patch yet!

Thank you for being part of Lost Sierra Food Project and Rugged Roots Farm. Looking forward to seeing you on the farm in the next few weeks.

Sincerely,
Vanessa Vasquez
LSFP Director

Learn how to care-take your own animals and sign up for Animal Husbandry through Feather River College!

This hands-on course explores how small animal integration can contribute to closed-loop nutrient cycling on small farms. Students will learn about the many benefits of integrating animals into farm systems, including soil regeneration, nutrient contributions from manure, and the production of dairy, eggs, and meat. The course will introduce animal husbandry techniques for raising poultry for eggs and meat, pigs, goats, rabbits, and other small livestock. Field labs at local farms will give students opportunities to apply these concepts through hands-on projects.

This course is taught by local small-farm legend Michelle Fulton. Michelle operates FulHat Farms in Meadow Valley and has taught Biology, Botany, Forestry and Environmental Studies courses for the last 20 years at a variety of colleges. Michelle is a passionate supporter of sustainable food systems and regenerative farming systems. She has spent many years building her small farm into a viable organic dairy goat, chicken and honey bee operation. When not working on the farm Michelle enjoys hiking, biking, skiing, surfing, and following the spring bloom.
