FoxRAP 2023 Annual Report

FoxRAP made great strides in 2023 – our 2nd full year of operations. I’m happy to share here our Annual Report with you, our all-important supporters, contributors, partners, and community.

With your support, we:

  • Won a competitive $86K USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program grant to increase and improve direct-to-consumer markets and sales for local farms
  • Joined the American Farmland Trust’s Great Lakes Navigator Program to support 4 farmers and landowners implement conservation easements, farm transfer planning, and adopt regenerative farming practices
  • Wrote and published 4 informational conservation easement documents for the general public and community partners
  • Met with the public and partners to inform about easements, leading to a community conservation easement alliance and the Green Lake Conservancy proceeding with new farmland easements
  • Partnered with 5 local farmers to produce the first Listen to the Land videos
  • Co-hosted and/or participated in 3 community events to spread the word about regenerative ag: the Green Lake County Fair, the Green Lake Conservation Field Day, and the WI Farmland Access Hub Meet ‘n Greet
