Chapman's support of sustainable agriculture was apparent with the 1995 release of her widely praised album, New Beginning. The album notes featured photographs of the artist in the fields at the UCSC Farm, and seeds were distributed at her concerts to encourage people to get their hands in the soil. The center's proceeds will support scholarships in the Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture at UC Santa Cruz. Nearly 1,000 graduates of the program are working on farms and in rural and urban agricultural programs across the U.S. and around the world. Since 1990, OFRF has fostered the improvement and widespread adoption of organic farming practices.
