AgroThrive Supports ALBA Farmers
AgroThrive Supports ALBA Farmers">
In honor of National Agriculture Week, longtime CCOF Foundation supporter AgroThrive partnered with its home gardening community to support up-and-coming farmers with a donation of more than 300 gallons of its unique liquid organic fertilizer. Between March 21 and 28, for every purchase of liquid organic fertilizer made on AgroThrive.com, the company donated the same amount to the organic farmers-in-training at the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA).
“Matching [the] flurry of [home gardeners’] purchases, we are able to donate more than 300 gallons of liquid organic fertilizer to the farmers learning to farm organically at ALBA,” said AgroThrive Chief Marketing Officer Marko Macura. The donation was enough to cover 30 acres of farmland. Many ALBA growers farm quarter- and half-acre plots, so this donation will go a long way to support soil and crop health at their operation in the Salinas Valley.
