From Community Supported Agriculture , to Agriculture Supporting Community
Supporting our local vegetable and fruit farmers can mean buying a
CSA share from a local farmer for your family ... or ... contributing towards one for a family in need in your community . Food insecurity continues to be a significant issue in the region , even in an ( almost ) post-pandemic world . With an increase in food prices and a decrease in county , state and federal funding available to pantries and food distribution sites , families are left making difficult choices about paying bills or rent , or ... buying healthy food .
Community FarmShare , a Montgomery County nonprofit , is working to address food insecurity by providing weekly home deliveries of healthy fresh produce directly from our local farmers to families in underserved communities . In 2022 , we aim to deepen our outreach to support families who not only experience food insecurity , but who also have a family member with poorly controlled diabetes or other chronic disease , where eating healthy can make a significant difference in health outcomes . As we already know , food is medicine !
Community FarmShare passionately believes in building a resilient local food system . We are excited to buy the produce we provide our clients directly from hyper-local CSA farmers , thus further supporting farmers to increase vegetable and fruit production .
Through generous donations from individuals , businesses and grants , we put this money directly into farmers ' hands to produce the nutrient dense food that our volunteers deliver to families ' kitchen tables . It ' s like buying a CSA box for a friend you haven ' t met yet !
