Dennis Hutson and his brother-in-law and farming partner Kayode Kadara live in Allensworth in Tulare County where they are active community members and passionate farmers. The small town was founded in 1908 by Allen Allensworth, a retired lieutenant colonel originally born into slavery, who envisioned a community entirely governed, built and financed by African-Americans. Today, Allensworth faces many of the same challenges as communities across the Central Valley: drought, unpredictable weather patterns and soil erosion.<\/p>\n

Farmers Dennis and Kayode moved to Allensworth via two very different paths, but with the same goal of using their 60 acres of land, named TAC Farm, as an economic engine for their community and as a place to grow fresh, healthy food in a community with limited access.<\/p>\n

In 2020, TAC Farm received both a Healthy Soils grant and a SWEEP grant from CDFA to scale up the climate smart practices they were already using and to transition to more efficient and precise irrigation methods. We got to hear about the progress and success of these two projects in a recent interview with Dennis and Kayode, which you can read about on our Farmer Climate Leaders page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To get the full story on TAC Farm and these two mission-driven farmers, check out a recent blog post<\/a> by one of CalCAN\u2019s coalition members, Wild Farm Alliance, who assisted with the installation of a half-mile of hedgerows this spring to increase on-farm biodiversity and natural pollinator habitat. Find excerpts from their blog below.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2010, Dennis\u2019s twin sister Denise and her husband Kayode Kadara, who had recently retired, moved from the Bay Area to Allensworth to help Dennis make his vision a reality. Kayode grew up in rural Northern Nigeria where, in his childhood, he gardened and raised chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks and geese. His career included working as a deputy director of an air pollution agency and as the environmental program manager of a postal facilities group. In 2011, Kayode and Denise participated in an organic farming program at ALBA (Agricultural Land-Based Training Association) in Salinas to learn about management practices they could use on TAC Farm. (www.albafarmers.org) \u201cIt was super, one of the most enriching programs,\u201d says Kayode.<\/p>\n

TAC Farm grows okra, black-eyed peas, collards, mustards, kale, swiss chard, cantaloupe, watermelon, alfalfa, oats and edible Jute leaf. Many of these crops were grown in the early days of the Allensworth community. TAC also plans to raise rabbits and earthworms for composting and to sell for fishing and gardening. In addition to raising crops and livestock, TAC envisions collaborating with the Allensworth Historic State Park. \u201cWe want to have living history, expose people to these foods, show them how to grow them, and also supply food to vending at the park,\u201d says Dennis.<\/p>\n

Denise is leading an effort to update a community plan for Allensworth that will include creating a trail linking TAC Farm to Allensworth State Park and Atwell Island. This \u201cIsland\u201d is the site of a Bureau of Land Management restoration project which includes 8,000 acres of restored native valley grassland and wetlands that provide habitat for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds.<\/p>\n

With a cost-share EQIP grant from NRCS, Dennis and Kayode planted their first hedgerows and windbreaks. In the spring of 2021, with funding from CDFA\u2019s Healthy Soil program, the Wild Farm Alliance helped them plant another one-half mile of native plant hedgerow and windbreak, bringing more biodiversity to the farm and to the region. TAC Farm uses organic farming practices. Kayode helped plan and install drip irrigation on the farm in order to conserve water and save manpower. They also plant cover crops and use compost on the fields to improve the soil\u2019s fertility and tilth.<\/p>\n

Kayode recognizes the importance of creating biodiversity, \u201cThe bottom line for the success of any farm, especially an organic farm where you can\u2019t use chemicals, is the ability to attract beneficial insects, organisms and animals that benefit the future of the farm. It\u2019s in our best interest to bring in pollinators that help make the farm what it needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

TAC Farm\u2019s work has transformed its land. When they first started farming, there were no birds or insects, except gnats or mosquitoes, on the farm. \u201cNow, we have bees, wasps, owls and other types of birds, hawks, lizards, coyotes, snake. We\u2019ve seen all kinds of life,\u201d says Dennis. \u201cGenett Carstensen, NRCS Soil Conservationist, who really helped us to get the farm up and going, said not too long ago, \u2018Shh, listen. What do you hear? You hear the birds and bees. All kinds of life are teaming out here. When I first came, there was nothing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Dennis\u2019s philosophy about caring for the land is based in his spiritual beliefs. \u201cWe are stewards of this earth, this creation. As stewards, it is so important for us to be able to work in harmony with nature, not against it. As we work in harmony with it, we increase the likelihood of all benefiting as opposed to just humankind while the Earth is destroyed. We are out of balance right now which is why we have to do corrective measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kayode is also motivated by his concern for future generations. \u201cI believe that we must do our part to save what we see now for posterity.\u201d In addition to their agricultural work, the community is helping to develop young people into environmental stewards through a summer enrichment program for 7th<\/sup>\u00a0and 8th<\/sup>\u00a0grade students funded by the county. Students take classes to learn about environmental issues, such as groundwater and air pollution, and make presentations for the community and elected officials.<\/p>\n

Dennis\u2019s advice to other beginning and smaller farmers is to look for assistance. \u201cThere really are resources out there. More and more, they are not as hard to find as they once were. There are the USDA and NRCS but also other organizations, such as the Wild Farm Alliance and the Xerces Society. Initially, it seems overwhelming but once you tap into resources, then all of a sudden, you get connected to others and pretty soon, you become part of a community.\u201d<\/p>\n
