We believe that by providing great meals and being Eco-friendly, we can contribute to making our planet a better place.

We know that to keep family farmers on the land we have to increase the number of people buying their good food. From the annual concert event that features family farm food and unites farmers, artists, and concerned citizens, to our inspiring and informative television, radio, mail and web campaigns (including our HOMEGROWN.org website), Farm Aid is building a powerful movement for good food from family farms.

Grew out of the Fresh to You Market, a program found to be effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption of children from low income families. This program is currently being evaluated in worksites and subsidized housing projects as part of two federally funded research projects.  Food on the Move was created to address the major barriers to eating more fruits and vegetables that were identified through a needs assessment in Rhode Island. These barriers include: the high cost of fresh fruits and vegetables, little time to shop due to hectic lifestyles, and limited access to and poor quality of fruits and vegetables in low income neighborhoods. Thegoal is to sustain and extend the Fresh to You Markets using a ‘Robin Hood’ model whereby the profit from sales at worksites will help to cover the cost of bringing the markets into low-income, ‘food desert’ neighborhoods.
