Support for the annual event goes towards Field to Family's Farm to School, Farm Stands in Food Deserts and Local Food Finder programs. Local Food Finder is an online resource that connects eaters with growers. Farm to School works to teach kids where their food comes from, increase the amount of fresh, local food that students eat and increase the number of students who learn the components of a healthy and sustainable food system. Our Farm Stands in Food Deserts program offers freshly harvested produce to areas of Johnson County located in food deserts, often accompanying the Crisis Center's mobile food pantry.
