California lost 10% of its farms between 2017–2022. Programs like LFPA are how we fight back — but only if the state funds them. Without these programs, we risk losing farmers throughout the state.

The Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (LFPA), or Farms Together, does two INCREDIBLE things:
1️⃣pays small farmers fair market value for their crops and creates a stable sales channel
2️⃣pays established local organizations to distribute those to families in need through food banks, food pantries, senior centers and more.

Here's what it looked like for us at Dare 2 Dream Farms in Lompoc:
It paid us fair market rate for our crops — not a handout, a fair exchange. That stability meant we could hire someone, invest in equipment, and actually plan for winter instead of just BARELY surviving it. For small farms, winter is when everything gets precarious. LFPA changed that.

At the same time, the program paid the Route 1 Farmers Market to do exactly what they exist to do — get fresh, local food to the people in our community who need it most. Their mission is to bridge the gap between local farms and low-income families who face barriers to fresh food. LFPA made that mission fundable.
Every week, 6,000 pounds of food — eggs, lettuce, peppers, beets, carrots, squash, melons — moved from Lompoc farms to the Catholic Charities Food Pantry, the Senior Center, the Unity Shoppe, and more. Local money. Local food. Local organizations. All working together in a way most people never saw but everyone benefited from.
💥
That's what a regional food system actually looks like when it's working.
833 California farmers have been part of this. $60 million in local food purchased. Families fed in 53 of 58 counties. Assemblymember Pellerin is fighting for $45 million to keep it going. California has to decide right now.

Don't let this disappear quietly.

of us are trying. We're reading labels, choosing the "farm fresh" option, picking the restaurant that feels local.

But the system was designed to make convenient food the path of least resistance — and the alternative harder to find, harder to afford, and harder to trust.

This Earth Day, we're asking the question that convenience was designed to keep us from asking:

What is the real cost of convenient food?

Tap through to see what we mean. →

We started Dare 2 Dream Farms because we believe food should come with connection — not just a barcode or a nutritional panel. A real relationship with the people growing your food. The kind of accountability that only exists when you know your farmer.

Every chicken we raise, every vegetable at the farm stand, every coop we build is a small act of resistance. And when you choose local, you're part of that too.

This week, we're celebrating everyone ready to opt back in:
🥕 25% off your first Farm Box subscription
🐔 25% off chickens & coops

Custom Dare 2 Dream Planter boxes. Designed, built, and managed by the Dare 2 Dream Team. This is a beautiful growing space that will have over 20 varieties of vegetables and passion fruit. We hiked in all of the pre built boxes, set them up, and then 160 bags of soil and 20 bags of mulch. We will be returning bi weekly to manage the space and train the customers on growing, harvesting, and taking care of the space themselves. If you are interested in planter boxes on the Central Coast of California let us know!

There’s an overflowing good feeling that comes from taking home a gift to yourself you’ll get to care for.

Not just use, or store, or show off.

Raise.

Backyard chickens are like that: a steady relationship that works both ways.

And somehow… it always shows up on your face when you leave. And maybe also on your hat if you’re extra cool.

Huge thanks to George for making our day with this hat.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is press pause—to rest, rethink, and reset.

But often, the hardest thing is the right thing.

As of today, we are halting our Cow Share program.

Our cows are producing less milk in this season, and we no longer have enough to continue the program. With recent changes in veterinary support, we haven’t been able to keep our cows freshened as we normally would—something that’s becoming more common for small farms like ours.

Their milk supply is part of a natural rhythm—and what we are facing is a real challenge that’s part of a small, local food system.

This program has meant so much to us—and to so many of you. Sharing milk from our farm is deeply personal work, and we’re incredibly grateful to have been part of your homes and routines.

If we’re able to rebuild the program in the future, you will absolutely be the first to know.

In the meantime, we’re still here—growing beautiful produce for the farm box, raising happy chickens, and building a resilient, local food system we can all be proud of.

Thank you for being part of this farm 🤍

Missing feathers doesn’t always mean something is wrong with your chickens.

We occasionally see hens with thin or missing feathers.

There are a few common causes:

• stress events (here on the farm, rocket launches can startle flocks)
• temporary overcrowding (like during rain events when they're stuck inside)
• nutritional changes in feed

The good news is that chickens are incredibly resilient when they receive the right support.

If you have birds working on regrowing feathers, here are a few simple ways to help them:

Add to water
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar per gallon

Increase protein
• black oil sunflower seeds or mealworms
• poultry vitamin supplements like feather booster

Reduce flock stress
• adequate coop space
• multiple feeders and waterers
• consistent high-quality feed

Feathers are made mostly of protein and minerals, so good nutrition makes a big difference.

Chickens are tough animals. With the right environment, they bounce back quickly.
