California Family Farmer Emergency Fund Launches

Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) is launching a new financial relief program for farmers across California. The California Family Farmer Emergency Fund will provide direct financial relief for farmers who face increasingly unpredictable growing conditions due to drought, wildfires, floods, and other climate disasters. Applications for storm and flood relief will be open starting March 2025 and will cover financial losses from 2022, 2023, and 2024. Grants will range from $5,000 to $20,000. Grants are reimbursement-based, meaning farmers can apply to receive payment for unexpected expenses or financial losses incurred due to storms, flooding, or other extreme weather events.
