INCREASE YOUR IMPACT
By becoming a farmer member you are helping to feed a community that is currently under-resourced. Hartford is recognized as a food desert, an area where getting groceries is difficult and fresh food is scarce. You are creating a healthier community by distributing your fresh, healthy products to a wider customer base while dismantling food insecurity and food apartheid in Hartford. You'll be a part of helping educate people about the benefits of healthy eating and farm-fresh products, as well as lowering your environmental impact by reducing travel to farmers’ markets all over the state.
