*** We have met our first matching goal of $10,000, thanks to Propagate Investment! Let's keep the momentum going to reach our overall goal of $50,000. Do you know an individual or organization who would like to set our next matching goal at any amount? Please reach out to us at <a href="mailto:info@berrygoodfood.org">info@berrygoodfood.org</a> *** The major storms in San Diego on January 22nd, and again on February 5th-8th, have created a significant flooding event and impacted many farms in San Diego County, especially our vulnerable small-scale farmers in the Tijuana River estuary. Flooding has rendered their preparations for spring planting useless. Once the fields come in contact with sewage, the farmers are not allowed to plant crops for human consumption for at least 60 days after the soil has dried, which also takes considerable time as the rain continues to fall. This means they will not be able to count on any income for at least their first harvest and possibly longer. To add insult to injury, most of the crops these small farmers raise go to our most food-insecure consumers in the community. Berry Good Food is organizing a snap campaign to raise money for these farmers to distribute small grants to those most deeply affected.  Propagate Investment, led by BGF Board member John McCarthy, matched the first $10,000 in donations to get us over the $20K mark.  100% of your donations will go toward these small farm grants.   Watch our interview on <a href="https://youtu.be/kYTSlqQW7Rw" target="_blank">Fox 5 San Diego</a> (English). Mira nuestra entrevista en <a href="https://shorturl.at/mnwz0" target="_blank">Univision San Diego</a> (Español). We hope to raise up to $50,000 by mid-February and have farmers selected and grants distributed by March.  If you know of a small farm that was devastated by flooding during this storm, please contact us at <a href="mailto:info@berrygoodfood.org" target="_blank">info@berrygoodfood.org</a> Photos by BGF Board member John McCarthy at Wild Willow Farm - February 8, 2024 <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1707513883/a5vbxmhny0wqgjwlkm0m.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1707513977/wrcwfhdd7mez5vrjm1hl.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />
