Description
Through the development of a strategic marketing campaign designed to reach food-insecure residents, this project will test the viability of using a seasonal, weekly market to link local farms to consumers and increase residents' participation in federal and local food security programs. A committee of stakeholders from food-insecure families as well as market vendors, social service leaders, city and county agencies and area schools will oversee the work. Local farmers will design a system for delivering produce to the market with the help of an established farm to school program. Student employees and farm to school program staff will support sales of produce while actvities to draw customers to the market are tested. Potential impacts may be enhanced by incorporating maerketing activities to summer tourists drawn to nearby state and national parks. The project relies on a series of market research activities including focus groups and community surveys, rapid market assessmentsand vendor reporting of value and volume of sales during the market season. Assessment of the planning project will include use of the whole measures community food systems.
