Huerta del Valle (HDV)
Huerta del Valle is a 501c3 (non-profit) organization, working to increase production and community access to sustainably-produced food in the region through farming, healthy food access, nutrition education, sustainable production and distribution, and economic development addressing complex regional health issues. HdV works toward mission fulfillment through maintenance of four properties housing acreage under production for its community supported agriculture (CSA) program, a native plant nursery and seed farm for pollinator support and habitat training program. HdV partnership at LRPPG is projected to result in establishment of sustainable agriculture demonstration areas; use of grazing to control site weeds in place of herbicide; and collaboration in conservation-focused on-site K-12 field trips and technical workshops.
