Dig Deep Farms is a Black-led and BIPOC nonprofit organic farming operation that serves the community with its harvests and its commitment to providing economically viable jobs and careers in farming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFarming in America in particular, but also commercially and globally, it&#8217;s based on exploitation and making as much money for as little as you can pay. And we have to turn that around in a big way,\u201d says Sasha Shankar, one of the farm directors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our food system relies on the security of small farms, but these farms face many obstacles\u2014including land access, access to business resources, and access to buyers. To counter those challenges, Dig Deep Farms has entered into a partnership with the Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB) as a way to accomplish its goals. For the next two to three years, ACCFB will provide institutional support, such as assuming the lease agreements for the farm locations. This will allow Dig Deep Farms to focus on growing a sustainable business, one that will stand on its own in just a few years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Shifting priorities<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people think of food banks as a place simply to get a meal. But in the several decades that the Alameda County Community Food Bank has been in operation, the organization has moved beyond hunger relief to addressing poverty systemically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta read-more\">\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-flex\"><a class=\"full\" title=\"READ MORE\" href=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/2024\/10\/not-typical-grocery-store-coop\/\">full_link<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<p class=\"title mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-title h1\">READ MORE<\/p>\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p>On the ground with grocery stores changing the way we shop.<\/p>\n<div class=\"svg mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-svg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cACCFB has a long history of not addressing hunger in a vacuum or addressing food insecurity in a transactional way, but really wanting to look at those root causes and think about how we can offer solutions to hunger at that root cause level,\u201d says Allison Pratt, chief of strategy and partnerships for ACCFB. \u201cWe took a look at how much money we were spending each year on food\u2026and we realized that where we placed those dollars actually does make a difference in the food system.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the frames that we&#8217;re working with as a food bank is our desire to move from a kind of food charity model, or exclusively a food charity model, to a food justice model,\u201d says <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Susie Wise, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACCFB director of strategy. \u201cOur understanding of where our food comes from, who grows it, who has resources in order to become farmers\u2014these are aspects of bringing a food justice lens to our work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_166360\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-166360\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"768083\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #768083;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-166360 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pumpkins_resized-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pumpkins_resized-jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pumpkins_resized-490x346.webp 490w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pumpkins_resized-1200x848.webp 1200w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pumpkins_resized-768x542.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-166360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ACCFB and Dig Deep Farms both aim to strengthen the food system in Alameda County. Photography courtesy of Dig Deep Farms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For them, this manifests in several different ways\u2014for example, ACCFB team members <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accfb.org\/accfb-goes-to-washington\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">went to Washington D.C.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to lobby Congress for anti-hunger policies in the Farm Bill. Now, they are also investing in a farm that they see doing important work to strengthen the food system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dig Deep Farms was cofounded in 2010 as a social enterprise project by Martin Neideffer Hilary Bass. The farm\u2019s mission has stretched beyond the act of growing food, to strengthening the community\u2019s food system. For example, it has been a part of the local food as medicine initiative <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/recipe4health.acgov.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recipe4Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which integrates food into the treatment and prevention of chronic illness. One of Dig Deep Farms\u2019 key ongoing priorities is paying employees a living wage and providing similar benefits to other jobs, to make farming a viable profession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the reasons why folks are not entering the field, they\u2019re hearing [there\u2019s] no money to be made,\u201d says Troy Horton, one of the farm directors. \u201cThey can&#8217;t make a living. It&#8217;s backbreaking work. And then if we go to those historically underserved, underrepresented folks, it&#8217;s even more grim. One of the things. Our primary focus was trying to create a real living wage for folks doing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_166361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-166361\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7c8172\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7c8172;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-166361 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tractor_resized-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tractor_resized-jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tractor_resized-490x346.webp 490w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tractor_resized-1200x848.webp 1200w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tractor_resized-768x542.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-166361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of Dig Deep Farms\u2019 main priorities is creating viable careers in farming.

What are the other pieces of our food system that are going to be vital if we&#8217;re actually going to achieve our mission?\u201d says Pratt. \u201cSupporting farmers and supporting equity in how our food is produced, creating economic activity through those channels, all helps to create a system where people have access to what they need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horton points out that one of the big obstacles facing small farmers is the lack of support they get in comparison to large commodity crop farmers. Finding pathways to support, through partnerships, grants, and more, can strengthen small farms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat&#8217;s what we&#8217;re always preaching\u2014us urban farmers or small farmers need to be subsidized, just like the big farmers,\u201d says Horton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay sits Alameda County, where Dig Deep Farms\u2019 two farm sites grow rows and rows of fresh food.
