Our Programs

What Was Said About Our Programs:

  • "[The LFPA] is getting food that people want to the people who need it without shortchanging the farmer. We need more programs like this! It is too much to ask farmers of any kind to grow, clean, market, sell, navigate bureaucracy and it is WAY too much to ask that of newly arrived immigrants in the area. Why wouldn’t we just have a system where people who want to grow food are able to get to the people who need it?"
