Food support & statewide contacts

Make your community part of this.

A small farm selling by phone, a school planning meals, or a kitchen buying for a crowd can take part.

Bring local food into your week.

A market stop, an advance order or a visit for groceries can become part of your routine. Choose what works for your household.

  • Ask how buying works.

    Check the order deadline, exact quantity and price, pickup place and payment method. A farm’s location and its delivery area are different things.

  • Make a meal of what you find.

    Choose a vegetable or other ingredient, then visit the kitchen for recipes and flexible ideas for bringing it to the table.
