Field & Fork Network A New York State nonprofit organization that connects communities to innovative solutions that foster a sustainable food system.

Field & Fork Network supports and enhances local food systems by connecting fresh, healthy food to communities that need it the most. Our organization runs Double Up Food Bucks NYS, a nutrition incentive program that matches SNAP funds $1 for $1 for fresh local fruits & vegetables! Our core areas of focus are Food Access, Economic Development, Healthy Neighborhoods, and Youth Development.

Produce prescription (PRx) programs like ours show what is possible when healthcare, community organizations, retailers, farmers, and participants work together to make nutritious food more accessible.

F&FN’s pilot PRx program reinforces that Food as Medicine is not just a healthcare strategy; it is a community-centered approach to improving health, strengthening local food systems, and reducing barriers to fresh food.

As more organizations explore this work, we encourage partners, providers, funders, and community members to learn more, ask questions, and consider how they can support or participate in programs that connect food access with better health.

Head to Niagara Falls City Market this Friday (10/9) for the final Produce Prep on Pine event of the year! When you buy fresh fruits & veggies, students from the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute will wash, cut, and prep them — for free!

Since it was first introduced earlier this summer, Produce Prep on Pine has been helping customers eat more local fruits and vegetables while bolstering market sales. A few customers even went back to purchase more produce when they learned about the event. While anyone can benefit from the free service, the event has been — in the words of one customer — “a blessing” for those who need assistance preparing fresh produce.

Turns out, when you make healthy eating easier, everyone wins. For more on how the Produce Prep on Pine event came together, and how other markets can organize one of their own, read the blog on our website or click the link in our bio.
