The Pine Cone Foundation cultivates a better food future by supporting farming, ranching, fishing, aquaculture, and foodways in California.
PCF's Fall Fundraiser
The Journey From Ranch to Plate will be held in downtown Petaluma on October 26th from 12:30 to 5:30pm. Our workshop spotlights regenerative ranching, butchery, and guidance on how consumers can join the thoughtfully raised meat movement. It concludes with a culinary gathering featuring locally sourced wine, beer, and an assortment of bites from some of the Bay Area’s most celebrated purveyors. Space is limited, so we encourage you to secure your spot!
Micro-Grant Program
The PCF micro-grant application is open to established small California-based farms, ranches, fishing, and aquaculture operations that are looking to accomplish a specific project within one year. The 2nd annual application appeal closed on November 8, 2023. Our next round of applications will be accepted in September of 2024.
Project Spotlight
In collaboration with the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, we’ve established the Pine Cone Foundation Internship Program at Shone Farm. Our current endowment allows for three interns to be hired, and paid a living wage, each semester to learn and acquire farming and animal husbandry experience while they earn their degrees.
