Description

As the agency reported it.

Farm to family works to improve fruit and vegetable access, purchase, and consumption for families facing food insecurity and strengthen linkages in local food systems. Local farmers and non-profits who serve snap recipients will partner with the michigan fitness foundation (MFF) to offer michigan farm to family in eight communities over the next four years.farm to family is a continuation of a fini pilot project led by MFF. Key stakeholder feedback was used to refine the model for this grant. Using a hybrid CSA model, farmers are paid throughout the season. Local non-profits, such as full-service pantries and farmers markets, will act as program operators and promote and recruit snap recipients for participation. Each CSA will have 30 members and offer a 75% share incentive; 25 20-week CSAS will be held over four years. Local operators will employ strategies to minimize barriers for share pick-up, such as offering extended pick-up times. Local snap-ED programmers will offer nutrition education at pick-up sites supporting CSA members' knowledge and skills for storing and preparing produce. Using a previously successful model, a program playbook will be developed to provide step-by-step implementation guidance to support scalability into new communities and sustainability through advising on funding sources. MFF's coalition work and network of partners will be leveraged to secure diversified funding sources to sustain and scale efforts.
