We’ve had a couple of local reporters out lately covering the Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary (HCF+S) community farm and Free Farm Stand. Over the past four years of running the Free Farm Stand, the demand has really increased. We are always happy to see new people visiting the Stand and hear their stories and how the food we grow and distribute here affects their lives and families.
While there’s certainly so much diversity in the reasons people might need some help with food access, the sheer cost of food (especially fruit/produce) is number one. It’s also much less available in rural areas than cities or suburbs. Cities get all the attention when it comes to food access, and rural communities are often overlooked, but lack of transportation, physical and financial limitations, and so many other issues all play such a large role in rural food access.
You can check out this whole video and article at the link in our bio, and please support our work so we can keep going! This may look like a local issue, but we are reaching people all over the world and shifting the community care landscape. And we can’t do it without support. ❤️🩹
