“California is a leader in regenerative and organic agriculture. I am deeply supportive of the state’s regenerative and diversified growers, who are proving every day how productivity, stewardship, and economic viability can go hand in hand. Organizations like Napa Green are essential to this work, and I look forward to what they accomplish with this grant.”
