The Alameda County Resource Conservation District (ACRCD) works in support of beginning farmers and ranchers through ongoing provision of conservation programs and our close working relationship with the NRCS.
The ACRCD is also pursuing funding to enable the deepening of our services in urban Alameda County where many beginning farmers are getting started with small-scale intensive production. Additionally, the ACRCD plays a supporting role at the Sunol AgPark, one of the training hub sites, where numerous conservation practices have been implemented with support from on-site beginning farmers as well as school groups and volunteers.
