A Video Celebration of Food, Farmers—and You

November 24, 2021

Here in Marin County, we’re fortunate to have an abundance of fresh, healthy food, grown locally by hard-working farmers and ranchers.

With your support, MALT continues to fulfill our long-term obligation to not only protect and steward Marin’s agricultural land and partner with the people who work it, but also to ensure that the land produces food in a way that promotes a healthy, diverse natural environment.

Please enjoy this short video celebrating the people who produce our food and the community who supports this work—with heartfelt thanks for your continued support!
