FARM FRESH CHOICE is the Ecology Center's food justice program, addressing inequities and disparities around food and nutrition in Berkeley low-income communities of color.

WHAT IS FARM FRESH CHOICE?

FFC is a community-based organization offering fresh, local produce at cost. This means we offer our produce to our customers for the same price we purchase it for. We intentionally contract with small scale farmers who reflect the communities we serve. Our produce is organic and/or pesticide free, because our farmers understand the detrimental effects of harmful pesticides and chemical fertilizers on our communities and our environment.

FARM FRESH CHOICE MISSION

1.) To improve health and nutrition by increasing access and consumption of fresh, nutritious and affordable fresh fruits and vegetables to communities with limited access to produce outlets; and

2.) To support small scale, independent sustainable farmers in the Northern California region.

FFC is a project of the Ecology Center and is funded by:

• The California Nutrition Network
• East Bay Community Foundation
• San Francisco Foundation
• Center For Ecoliteracy
• Loveland Trust
• Berkeley Community Fund
• Chez Panisse Foundation
• Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency
