Become An MPG Supporter!
Join us in building a thriving future for small producers, local artisans, and the rural communities that sustain California’s rich cultural and ecological heritage. Your donation doesn’t just help us grow—it creates a lasting impact on our environment, economy, and way of life.
With your support, we can:
🛖 Secure Our Guild Hall in Laytonville – A central hub for tastings, markets, workshops, and events! This space will serve as a gathering place where local producers can connect with customers, share their crafts, and build a resilient rural economy.
📦 Get Local Producers to Market – Our E-Commerce platform will allow small farmers, ranchers, and makers to sell their MPG (Micro-Producer Guild) CSA boxes and handcrafted wares, ensuring they have direct access to buyers who value sustainable, locally-made goods.
🚜 Launch Micro-Tour Adventures – Explore the heart of rural California through immersive experiences:
- 🌿 Weed – Discover the world of regenerative cannabis farming and its role in rural economies.
- 🧶 Wool – Meet local fiber artisans and learn about heritage sheep breeds and sustainable textiles.
- 🍷 Wine – Taste handcrafted, small-batch wines that reflect the diverse terroir of our micro-regions.
- 🦌 Wildlife – Connect with the land through guided eco-tours that highlight conservation efforts and native habitats.
🎭 Expand County-Wide Cultural Events – Your support fuels celebrations of local talent, from artists and musicians to chefs and craftspeople. These collaborative events bring communities together while driving economic growth for small towns and micro-businesses.
🍽️ Celebrate Art, Food, and the Mendocino County Experience – Through story and culture, we showcase the soul of our region, highlighting the deep connection between the land, its people, and the traditions that define us. From farm-to-table feasts and storytelling to folk music and artisan showcases, every experience reflects the rich tapestry of Mendocino County’s past, present, and future.
🥦 Source Your Wares – Know Where Your Products Comes From! – In an era of mass production, it’s more important than ever to connect with the origins of the things we put in our bodies. Our producers are stewards of the land, committed to regenerative farming, ethical ranching, and sustainable craft. By supporting this movement, you ensure transparency in sourcing, reduce the carbon footprint of what you consume, and help keep traditional, small-scale food production alive.
And your donation does even more…
By supporting Mendocino Producers Guild, you’re investing in:
🌲 Wildlife & Watershed Protection – Sustainable agriculture and responsible land stewardship help preserve the forests, rivers, and native habitats that make our regions so special. Small-scale farming and ranching prevent large-scale industrial developments that often disrupt ecosystems.
🌾 A Resilient Local Food System – Small producers face immense challenges in competing with big agribusiness. Your contribution empowers them with the resources they need to thrive—keeping food local, organic, and regenerative.
🏡 Stronger Rural Communities – When small producers succeed, entire communities benefit. Your donation helps create local jobs, preserve traditional crafts, and sustain a way of life that’s been disappearing in the face of corporate consolidation.
🌎 A Global Movement for Local Sustainability – Rural regions are often overlooked, yet they are the backbone of sustainable food, craft, and culture. By investing in this project, you’re part of a movement that can be replicated worldwide—proving that local economies, when nurtured, can compete in a globalized world.
