Farm to Family: Utilizing New Methods of Crop Harvesting

This project was carried out by the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) in partnership with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The goal was to work with California growers to obtain nutrient-dense, field-packed cull row crops for distribution to food banks and food insecure people. Cull row crops are ordinarily left behind in the field, either because they do not meet commercial standards or because fluctuating market conditions mean that harvesting a given field is not cost effective. Over the course of the project, CAFB increased its overall distribution of specialty crops including broccoli, cauliflower, and celery through Farm to Family by 27%, from 90 million pounds to 115 million pounds annually.
