Farmer Resources

Our farm and farmers market partners are the backbone of the Fresh Food Connections program, providing local produce to feed food insecure members of our communities.

We work to support our farms with the necessary website updates to accept online orders and marketing know-how to get the word out about paying for CSA shares with SNAP.

Explore our resources below to help promote your CSA and Fresh Food Connections on social media and your other marketing channels.
