Congratulations Patricio Wise, Nixtaco Mexican Kitchen, on being named as part of the lead team of chefs for Sacramento’s 2021 Tower Bridge Dinner!

It's not too late to get your tickets for CAFF's Summer Soiree, a farm-to-table benefit in Sacramento featuring ingredients from some of our favorite local farms, ranches, wineries, breweries and fine food artisans. This is your chance to enjoy a delicious take-away meal (picnic option across the street!) all while helping promote ecological agriculture in California, ensuring a healthy food system, environment and farm community for generations to come. https://www.caff.org.../magpie2021/ PlacerGROWN is a proud sponsor of the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) Ecological Farming Program. CAFF works with farmers, policy makers, researchers, and local technical assistance providers to promote, improve and better understand the adoption of ecological farming throughout California. These include Climate Smart Farming practices that mitigate and adapt to climate change by reducing GHG emissions, sequestering carbon in the soil, and conserving natural resources like water and topsoil
