Churn Creek Bottom Homeowners and Friends is a non-profit voluntary organization started 35 years ago. We have a membership
of over 200 households. We continue to uphold the tradition started a third of a century ago to maintain the agricultural and rural
lifestyle enjoyed by our residents and the surrounding communities, as well as to preserve it for our future generations.
Shasta County General Plan:
"Agricultural land uses are a major component of Shasta County's resource land base. They are also a major
element in defining the quality of life available to the residents of Shasta County. Were agriculture to lose its land- based prominence
in the County, the rural character and country living so valued by its residents and so important to its economy would likely decline.
This element encompasses portions of three mandatory elements, namely; land use, conservation, and open space."
- Why It's Important -
The Churn Creek Bottom Area is rare prime farmland representing some of the richest and most productive soils
in Shasta County. Currently there are families successfully engaged in farming and ranching in this unique Sacramento River bottom
area that include commercially available organically-grown produce, top-quality hay, and grass grazed beef cattle. Produce is currently
available at the Redding Certified Farmer's Market and is grown on many sites, some as small as 5 acres which belies the
notion that all agricultural lands must be expansive and contiguous.
Additionally, preservation of Churn Creek Bottom assures protection
of watershed areas, wildlife, air quality and open space.
Help protect it by becoming a member or by making a donation.
