How We Partner With Cascadian Farm
Rethinking Agricultural Practices to Benefit the Planet
Wetlands, open fresh water, and other wild spaces in the central valley of California have been reduced 95% in the past hundred years in order to allow for agricultural development. While converting these wild lands to farmlands has helped with food production, these changes have also resulted in dramatically less groundwater, fewer shorebirds, and higher risk of flooding in local communities.
Committed to Helping Our Planet Through Improved Farming Practices

Today, as more shoppers look to support brands who are working to protect the planet, we’re excited to meaningfully invest and live up to that expectation.
Cascadian Farm is working with The Nature Conservancy to support our work to improve agricultural practices in California’s central valley.
Benefiting From Planned Flooding Practices
By encouraging farmers to carefully shallow-flood their fields after the harvest, we can help make the farmland even more useful. With well-planned flooding practices, we can use otherwise dormant farmland to:
- Help nature replenish water stores underground
- Create pop-up bird habitat for shorebirds migrating on the Pacific Flyway, offering them a place to rest and refuel
- Make more room in water reservoirs, helping prevent flooding in local communities after heavy rains

On-Pack Storytelling
In addition to their contribution to TNC, Cascadian Farm is promoting the partnership with on-pack storytelling and information about the program on all Cascadian Farm products in 2021 and 2022. Purchases during the promotion do not increase the contribution to TNC; Cascadian Farm has committed $750,000 to support the Conservancy’s agricultural work.
