Re: Letter of Support for Butte County Economic Development Corporation
To Whom It May Concern;
On behalf of the Northern California Regional Land Trust (NCRLT),1 am writing to express my support for the
Butte County Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Pve worked collaboratively with the Butte County
EDC to organize and facilitate the Ag Speed Dating events in both 2011 and 2012. The Butte County EDC took
the lead with these events and invited us to participate by reaching out to our Buy Fresh Buy Local, North
Valley {BFBLNV) member network. The growers, retailers and restaurants that participated in these events
were all thrilled with the opportunity to build relationships that expand markets for locally produced ag
products.
The BFBLNV program uses resources like the BFBLNV logo and The Eater's Guide to Local Food to connect
growers with new and innovative market access, stimulating economic development in rural packets of the
North Valley. BFBLNV has a track record of success and it is partners like the Butte County EDC that help our
program grow its reach to even more farmers, ranchers, business and consumers in the region.
The mission of NCRLT's BFBLNV program is to help make the connection between local food and local
farmland by raising the visibility of farmers and ranchers who direct-market in our region. This program serves
as a critical link for economic growth in our rural area where we still have open space and agricultural lands as
key resources, enhancing market opportunities for our region's producers. The Butte County EDC has played a
key role in critical meetings and has been a connector to resources essential to our program's success.
I am pleased to support the Butte County EDC and believe that their work and collaboration is vital to
stimulating much needed urban and rural economic development in Butte County.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this letter and my support
