The program is led by Food Systems Advisor Julia Van Soelen Kim and is located in Marin, Mendocino, Napa, and Sonoma Counties. Her efforts are directed at strengthening the connections between farmers and consumers by supporting the viability of small-scale and diversified agricultural production and expanding access to affordable local food.
