February 15, 2024 – Every year, the Community Alliance with Family Farmers recognizes amazing farms, individuals and local businesses making a difference in our food system.
Selected from hundreds of nominations, the 2024 California Farm Champions blaze trails, give back, and help promote a healthier, more regenerative and more just world.
Food Business Of The Year: Three Forks Bakery & Brewing Co.
Three Forks Bakery & Brewing Co is a small-town restaurant with a big impact. Since their inception and throughout their recent transition to new ownership, Three Forks has been dedicated to truly sourcing as many locally-grown and organic products as possible, building a strong and lasting bridge between the farm and plate for Nevada County.
They are well known and loved by the local farming community and it’s our hope that more restaurants follow their lead, recognizing that even a neighborhood eatery like theirs has the power to affect positive change in our food system by simply focusing on what’s important, close at hand, and on the real people who make up their local economy.
CAFF’s Farmer Support Services Director Kali Feiereisel, who is based in Nevada County, said “Three Forks Bakery & Brewery Co has been a trailblazing farm-to-table restaurant in our local community for many years. They take supporting local farmers seriously and serve our community with delicious, nourishing food while simultaneously being a reliable buyer for local farmers. I’m thrilled to see them acknowledged by the CA Small Farm Conference as the Food Business of the year!”
The Awards Ceremony for the 2024 California Farm Champions will take place during their annual 2024 California Small Farm Conference.
