Double Up Food Bucks is a healthy food incentive program that doubles value of federal nutrition benefits spent at farmers' markets, helping people buy local food while supporting our local farmers and economy.

It's a win-win-win on market day:

We are proud to partner with Fair Food Network to help grow a vibrant local food system and inform public policy to address hunger and nutrition while supporting a more sustainable food system.

F.A.R.M. Full Circle Partnership

F.A.R.M. Full Circle is a food recovery and redistribution program of F.A.R.M. Cafe. After collecting food items at risk of going to waste from local sources, volunteers prepare ready-to-eat meals using the recovered foods. The healthy food options are delivered to those in need and are also available on a donate-what-you-can basis at F.A.R.M. Cafe & the High Country Food Hub.

Providing producers the support they need

We listen to farmers to understand what support is needed most

From providing additional markets to on-farm trainings, our producer support offerings are based upon the needs of our community. Since 2014, we have offered a CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) program that cultivates meaningful mentor relationships through peer-to-peer farmer trainings and an apprentice link webpage.
