Spotlight: Happy Family Organics' Support Farmers with the Launch of their Regenerative Farmer Fund
In 2018, we shared details on Happy Family Organics’ regenerative agriculture farmer training pilot (see the full blog here).

The project fit into the brand’s larger ambition to help reverse the climate crisis through supply chain reductions and on-farm carbon sequestration.
Two years later, they've completed a second pilot and have now launched a Regenerative Farmer Fund to provide ongoing support to farmers in their supply chain. We sat down with their Sustainability Director, Katie Clark, to learn more.
