Restoring the Northwest
Building on the success of our Restore Grants in California and Colorado, we’re launching grants for farmers and ranchers in Oregon and Washington. Thanks to the contributions of New Seasons Market and our Zero Foodprint Members, grants were made available for the first time in 2024. Applications will re-open in 2025.
Our Impact
Our Restore Grants have already awarded more than $2.6 million to over 120 farms in California and Colorado. Our work has sequestered more than 104,000 tons of CO2e, but we’re just getting started. By directly funding climate-smart practices on farms, we can work together to grow better food and effectively restore our climate.

Putting Carbon
The launch of the Restore NW Grant is made possible by money pledged by New Seasons Market and its 25+ vendor partners, who during April celebrated Earth Month with the Building Better Soil for a Healthier Future campaign. Each pledged 1 percent of their month’s sales to Zero Foodprint, generating nearly $60,000 to lead the change.
Where it Belongs
Taking Action
Curious about our NW farm pilot projects? Tillamook, New Seasons Market, and Zero Foodprint have teamed up to establish ~5.0 acres of riparian forest buffer (an estimated 1,100 plantings) on Tillamook producer’s farms. Watch how staff from all three organizations got to work planting the first 1.25 acres that will help protect water quality, improve salmon habitat, and sequester an estimated 330 tons of CO2e!
