OUR FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS SERVE LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORS, WHILE BI-LINGUAL COOKING AND NUTRITION CLASSES ARE ADVERTISED AT NEARBY CLINICS LIKE PRESBYTERIAN, LA FAMILIA AND TO ALL SNAP USERS. OVER 7,000 IN DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS AND OTHER NUTRITION PROGRAM BENEFITS WERE DISTRIBUTED AT THE FARM STAND, INCREASING FOOD ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY, WHILE OUR MUTUAL AID COMMUNITY FRIDGE AND PANTRY CELEBRATED ONE YEAR OF OPERATION THE FARM STAND WAS ALSO A SALES OUTLET FOR 12 OTHER FARMERS, RANCHERS AND LOCAL FOOD PRODUCERS. AT-RISK YOUTH WORK ON THE FARM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUTHWORKS. SFCC SUSTAINABILITY AND FUTURE FOCUSED EDUCATION STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS HERE. SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS LEARN ABOUT US THROUGH COOKING WITH KIDS DEMOS, MEET-THE-FARMER VISITS AND FREE FIELD TRIPS. OVER 3,000 STUDENTS AND ADULTS PARTOOK IN FARM TOURS, FIELD TRIPS AND SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS. WEEDING WEDNESDAYS AND SEEDING SATURDAYS BECAME CORNERSTONES OF OUR GROWING VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, BUILDING COMMUNITY WITH OUR HANDS IN THE SOIL TOGETHER AND LEARNING ABOUT REGENERATIVE PRACTICES. WE CONTINUE TO TRANSITION THE FARM TO NO-TILL, ORGANIC, AND SUSTAINABLE LAND PRACTICES LIKE PLANTING NATIVE PERENNIAL FLOWERS, SHRUBS AND TREES AROUND THE PERIMETER TO PROTECT THE SOIL, ATTRACT POLLINATORS AND PROVIDE HABITAT FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS. CUSTOMERS REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY FROM RECENT IMMIGRANTS TO RETIREES. OVER 3,000 SUBSCRIBERS WERE ON OUR FARM COMMUNITY EMAIL LIST IN 2022, WITH 75- 175 VISITORS AT EACH OF 96 FARM STANDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. VEGETABLES WERE ALSO SOLD WHOLESALE TO FOOD BANKS, OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT, RESTAURANTS AND OVER 10,000 POUNDS OF FOOD WAS DONATED TO LOCAL HUNGER EFFORTS WITH PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND OUR 24/7 ONSITE COMMUNITY FRIDGE TO ENSURE FRESH VEGETABLE ACCESS TO THOSE IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

FARM CAMP FARM CAMP GREW FROM 270 CHILDREN IN 2021 TO 315 CHILDREN IN 2022, WITH 90 SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED. CHILDREN WERE ON THE FARM DURING ALL WEEKS OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL'S SUMMER VACATION, PROVIDING ESSENTIAL CHILDCARE TO WORKING FAMILIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL+FRESH FOOD EDUCATION TO CAMPERS. FARM FOOD RESCUE OUR FARM FRESH KITCHEN WAS CERTIFIED, ALLOWING THE LAUNCH OF OUR SAVING SECONDS PROGRAM, RESCUING PRODUCE "SECONDS" FROM REUNITY AND PARTNER FARMS TO PROCESS INTO HEALTHY, SHELF-STABLE PRODUCTS, REDUCING FOOD WASTE AND INCREASING YEAR-ROUND FOOD RESILIENCY. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BEST FOOD RESCUE AND PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES BEGAN WITH PRODUCTS SUCH AS TOMATO SAUCE AND PESTO, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO INCREASING VOLUME AND DIVERSITY IN FOOD RESCUE AND PRESERVATION IN 2023. COMMERCIAL COMPOST PROGRAM THANKS TO THE PARTICIPATION OF SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 35 LOCAL RESTAURANTS, 430 HOUSEHOLDS AND DROP-OFF PARTICIPANTS, OUR COMPOST PROGRAM DIVERTED APPROXIMATELY 2 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD WASTE FROM THE LANDFILL. WE ALSO COLLECTED AND CONVERTED 31,950 GALLONS OF WASTE OIL INTO BIODIESEL. THIS PREVENTS THE METHANE EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD WASTE IN LANDFILLS, WHICH IS THE 3RD LARGEST METHANE PRODUCER GLOBALLY. RESIDENTIAL COMPOST PROGRAM NEARLY A THIRD OF THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD'S TRASH MAKE-UP IS ACTUALLY COMPOSTABLE, AND OUR DOORSTEP PROGRAM MAKES HOME COMPOSTING EASY AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS PROGRAM HAD AN AVERAGE OF 450 SUBSCRIBERS IN 2022. A REUNITY COMPOST BUCKET ON AVERAGE HOLDS 18 LBS OF FOOD WASTE;EVERY 2.2 LBS OF FOOD WASTE EQUALS AROUND 5.5 LBS OF CO2 EQUIVALENT RELEASED FROM THE LANDFILL. SO WITH A WEEKLY FOOD WASTE PICK-UP, THE AVERAGE DOORSTEP CUSTOMER IS PREVENTING ~99LBS OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THAT'S 5,148 LBS OF DIVERTED GREENHOUSE GAS ANNUALLY PER LITTLE GREEN BUCKET CAPACITY BUILDING IN THE COMPOST SECTOR AS A CONTRACTOR FOR SANTA FE COUNTY, WE INSTALLED 43 BACKYARD COMPOSTING SYSTEMS TO HOUSEHOLDS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, EDUCATING THEM ON COMPOSTING IN THE HIGH DESERT TO EFFECTIVELY DIVERT FOOD WASTE ON SITE. IN COLLABORATION WITH QUIVIRA COALITION, WE INSTALLED TWO AERATED STATIC PILE COMPOSTING SYSTEMS ON FARMS/RANCHES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES OF NEW MEXICO, TRAINING BOTH THE RANCHERS/FARMERS AND THE NEIGHBORS/PUBLIC ON THESE SYSTEMS AND HOW TO DIVERT THEIR RANCH/FARM GREEN WASTE AND FOOD WASTE ON SITE. SOIL YARD APPROXIMATELY 2,000 CUBIC YARDS OF FINISHED COMPOST WAS SOLD AND DONATED INTO THE COMMUNITY. WHEN COMPOST IS AMENDED TO DESERTIFIED SOILS, IT CAN CAPTURE UP TO 20,000 MORE GALLONS OF WATER PER ACRE (WITH ONLY ONE INCH OF COMPOST AMENDED OVER THAT ACRE), AND SETS UP AN ONGOING POSITIVE FEEDBACK CYCLE SEQUESTERING INCREASING AMOUNTS OF CARBON OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE WHERE IT IS HARMFUL AND BACK INTO THE SOIL WHERE IT IS HELPFUL. USED COOKING OIL TO BIODIESEL 31,950 GALLONS OF USED COOKING OIL WERE COLLECTED FROM AREA RESTAURANTS FOR CONVERSION INTO CLEAN BIODIESEL. BIODIESEL IS A LIQUID, NONTOXIC, AND BIODEGRADABLE FUEL PRODUCED BY COMBINING ALCOHOL WITH VEGETABLE OIL, ANIMAL FAT, OR RECYCLED COOKING GREASE, AND IS A MUCH CLEANER-BURNING REPLACEMENT FOR PETROLEUM-BASED DIESEL FUEL. LOCAL FOOD AND FARMER ADVOCACY STAFF PARTICIPATED IN THE SANTA FE FOOD POLICY COUNCIL WORKING TOWARD LOCAL PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, HOSTED WORKSHOPS ABOUT RESTORING LOCAL GRAIN CHAINS, AND PILOTED A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY TO GROW MORE FOOD ON COUNTY LAND. COMMUNITY FRIDGE AND PANTRY REUNITY RESOURCES INSTALLED AND MANAGED A 24/7 ACCESS NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED COMMUNITY FRIDGE AND PANTRY OUTSIDE ITS FRONT GATES.
