Each year, April reminds us to take stock. With Earth day just around the corner, it’s a good time to pause and reflect and ask ourselves - how can we develop more sustainable habits? If you’re new to this, farmers’ markets are actually a great place to get started! Here’s why ????

??Empowering the next generation of healthy eaters! ??? ? Melissa Gallardo, MS, RDN, our Director, Benefits & Incentives, led a hands-on Nutrition Label Reading and "MyPlate" class for 25 Fremont High School students at the Fremont Community Garden last month. ? ? ??

Join us as we work to educate our representatives about the important, positive health and economic impacts of Farms Together. Read about how you can help in the post below from Community Alliance with Family Farmers.
?? URGENT: Farms & Families at Risk Without warning, the federal gov’t has frozen $ millions funding for Farms Together—a critical program that sources local produce from California’s small farmers to help families in need of fresh, nutritious food. This sudden halt threatens farmers’ livelihoods, stops investment into rural economies, and disrupts food assistance for thousands across California. The incredible impact of Farms Together last year alone:? ? 533 farms supported? ? $20M+ in CA-grown produce purchased? ? 8.7M lbs of food distributed How You Can Help: Call your U.S. Senator & Representative TODAY and urge them to reinstate this vital funding! To find your legislator’s contact info & use our simple call script, visit https://lnkd.in/g8uwV6-m Let’s stand together for our farmers and communities!

We want to thank the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) for their thoughtful donation! ?????? Donations like these expand the reach of our public programming, particularly in times of crisis. During January's wildfires, our team was able to use such funding to purchase produce from farmers and distribute it to chefs and shelters working to feed firefighters and families affected. ????? If you too want to support our mission directly, become a donating member at the link in bio. You can donate just once or on a regular basis, we appreciate any and all support you can give. We can make the biggest impact, together! ??
