Exciting Events at C&C Ranch

Harvest Party

This October MLLT held its second annual Harvest Party at the community farm at C&C Ranch in Jackson.

Thanks to all who contributed to the event’s success. The day began at the Heritage Rose Garden with a well-attended California native plants class presented by Master Gardeners of Amador County.

Participants learned about choosing and caring for native plants in their home gardens. Later, the Rose Garden committee hosted open garden day tours and a heritage rose sale to promote the use of the rare heritage rose varieties in our region.

Next, the crowds arrived to enjoy live music, great local food, vendors, pumpkin decorating, community, and mountain bike rides on the ranch.

C&C Ranch Improvements

Last week Briski Well Drilling drilled our new well allowing the expansion of the community farm at C&C Ranch. This project was the first phase of the community farm expansion project funded by the California Farmland Conservancy Program land improvement grant from California Department of Conservation. The purpose of the grant is to enhance long-term sustainable agricultural uses of protected land. The next phases of the project include new fencing and native plant, oak, and pollinator plantings. Stay tuned for more project updates!
