That&#8217;s how the Cloverleaf began.<\/p>\n<p>The two farmers just broke even last year, their first, because of expenses bringing irrigation to the parcel.<\/p>\n<p>This year, they are taking over four acres of orchard from Collins and adding two more partners.<\/p>\n<p>The orchard will hold a pruning workshop Sunday. See www.thecloverleaffarm. com for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s somewhat of a time-honored tradition in agriculture,&#8221; Collins said of his help for the young farmers.<\/p>\n<p>If FarmLink is like Match.com, the Land Bank of Living Lands Agrarian Network is more like Craigslist.<\/p>\n<p>The Network, based in Nevada County, has nine parcels it manages with a network of young growers, taking on interns to train new farmers.<\/p>\n<p>As the word spread, however, they found more people who had small amounts of land they wanted farmed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We, as Living Lands, were approached by so many landowners, we didn&#8217;t have the resources,&#8221; said Rachel Berry, the group&#8217;s director.<\/p>\n<p>They established the online Land Bank late in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the website, landbank.livinglandsagrariannetwork.org, has 10 listed sites from Nevada County to Orangevale.<\/p>\n<p>While FarmLink provides connections, lease models, advice and even some farm loans, those who use the Land Bank can make their own arrangements, Berry said. &#8220;Typically, there&#8217;s very little money exchanged,&#8221; Berry said.<\/p>\n<p>Like Brian Ekiss, who lives on 5.5 acres outside Nevada City. He just wanted someone to use some of his acreage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We went to the farmer&#8217;s market and we just had this light bulb go off,&#8221; Ekiss said.<\/p>\n<p>They contacted Living Lands and offered the space in a handshake deal, not expecting money.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not getting paid; we have some picking rights,&#8221; said Ekiss. &#8220;We&#8217;re sort of compensated by being part of the network.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"item-license\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/copyright\">\u00a9 Copyright The Sacramento Bee.\u00a0 All rights reserved.<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<!-- \t#scsharelinkb { background: url(http:\/\/media.sacbee.com\/static\/sacconnect\/images\/share-icon.png) no-repeat left center; padding-left: 20px; } --><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Call The Bee&#8217;s Carlos\u00a0 Alcal\u00e1, (916) 321-1987.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/2012\/01\/31\/4226717\/capital-area-matchmakers-link.html Published Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012 Putting farmers onto underused land was once a matter of creating homesteads.
