Farms to Neighbors

The Farms to Neighbors program is based on two simple truths: everyone should have access to high quality, locally produced food and farmers deserve to be paid full price for the fruits of their labor. When it comes to food access, these two truths are often at odds. However, with the support of generous community members, we can achieve both! Farms to Neighbors donations translate directly into food purchases from participating local farmers, and the food purchased goes directly to community members that need it most. The Cove food bank is our partner for the program, and we rely on them to distribute the fresh food we purchase to local families. Food is provided by Red Shed, Hoodoo Blooms, Double Tree Dairy, Willow Brook Farm, Dear Table Farm, Kings Garden, Bluebird Grain Farms, Channing Farms, and BCS Livestock.

This program was started during the pandemic when families were in need of help and the fate of regular sales channels for farmers was drawn into question. Though regular markets have returned, we plan to continue the program as long as the need for it persists.
