Farmer Relief

Local farmers are facing unexpected challenges due to COVID-19. Find out how you can support local by taking the Eat Local Pledge through the Local Food is Essential campaign. Plus, learn about farmer relief efforts in MN and WI through the Local Emergency Assistance Farmer Fund. LEAFF provides access to new markets for local farmers, with an emphasis on equity in the food system. Through this program, unsold produce is purchased from local farmers and redistributed free of charge to local food access organizations. During the pilot phase, the focus is on supporting Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers.
