I do not have a disability but I work in agriculture, can you do anything for me?
Yes, we encourage farmers and farm workers to learn about safety at home, on the road and at work. The best way to prevent an injury is to know that you can be injured, so be safe. Furthermore, we have various materials that will help you learn about exercise, diet, occupational safety and health illnesses.
I do not have a disability but I know of someone who does, can you help that person?
Yes, you can take our information and share it with that person, and you can also give us that person’s contact information and we will contact them. You can refer the person to us directly by clicking “Contact” and filling the corresponding form.
Does California AgrAbility have grants or loans to purchase land?
Unfortunately, California AgrAbility does not have grants or loans. However, we do not turn anyone away without at least giving them a resource to follow. We often refer inquiries to representatives from agencies that operate loan and grant programs for acquiring land to farm.
