Fresh Access. Providing access to fresh produce for people in need.
Each year, The Friends of Holcomb Farmgives more than six tons of produce to our partner organizations through our Fresh Access program. Roughly speaking, that’s $25,000 worth of nutritious, local produce.
The Friends of Holcomb Farmserves two populations through this program:
- Food-insecure families who have trouble affording or accessing healthy food
- Individuals and families who are struggling with a health crisis
Our Partners
We work with good people who are doing good work, including:
- The Granby Senior Center, which distributes our produce to Granby’s senior citizens, most of whom are on fixed incomes; and many of whom do not have easy access to fresh produce.
- The Waste Not Want Not Community Kitchen, which serves a weekly community dinner, free-of-charge, to support those in need and to bring the community together.
- The Town of Granby Social Services Department, which identifies food-insecure families from Granby who could benefit from a helping hand.
- The Healing Meals Community Project, whose mission is to serve healthy, 100 percent organic meals to clients and families who are struggling with a health crisis. These meals are provided free of charge and delivered to the client’s doorstep.
