Foundation 1 Campaign

The Foundation 1 Campaign was initiated by Sierra Ranches, Modesto, Calif., with the intent that 1% of the proceeds of their fall production sale were donated to HYFA. Other farms, ranches and programs have joined the campaign over the years to continue this growth for the next generation. Learn about upcoming sales participating in the event and more information.
