Creating a sustainable food system means investing in the next generation of organic farmers, while they do the important work of bringing nourishing food to our tables and caring for people and the land. When you donate to CUESA, you are supporting California family farms who share your values of building a just, resilient, and climate-wise food future.
This month, we are shining a light on people who nourish our community and help sustain this vision. In this new video from CUESA, you’ll go behind the scenes at Balakian Farms to meet fourth-generation organic farmer Amber Balakian, her grandmother Stella, and some of the farm’s workers. Amber shares her why she is continuing her family's farming legacy, what your support has meant during the pandemic, and how creating a more diverse and equitable food system makes all of us stronger.
