Food Access Programs

Small Places is developing a Food Access model to overcome the numerous barriers to accessing fresh food that members of our community experience. Our Farm Store provides an integrated solution by meeting people where they are and implementing multiple programs, offerings, and outlets to increase the capacity and avenues for all members of our neighborhood to be healthy.

Neighborhood Food Access (NFA)

Every two weeks, we deliver fresh, nutritious food—produce, eggs, meats, grains, and more—to 66 households, serving 214 individuals. For many of these families, accessing healthy food is a daily challenge. Your support ensures they can gather around the table with nourishing, home-cooked meals.

Food Prescriptions

Through our Food Prescription Program, created in partnership with St. Mary’s Clinic and El Centro de Corazón, we serve local residents living with diet-related chronic illnesses. By providing access to fresh produce and nutrition resources right here at the farm, we’re helping our community members take control of their health—one meal at a time.

FRESH FOOD FOR ALL (TIERED PRICING PROGRAM)

It’s hard to find high-quality, affordable fresh food in our neighborhood, so we’re changing that. Our tiered pricing model at the new farm store makes fresh, local food accessible to everyone. Customers can choose to pay full price or receive a 25% or 50% discount, no questions asked. Because everyone deserves good food grown close to home.
