Food for All - Lemmy.World

I’m considering joining a CSA for summer produce ……. But getting produce this way can be expensive so not everyone can do it, but this one place also has - “Food For All” where they offer half price food shares on request, no paperwork or shame involved! - you can buy shares with SNAP at subsidized prices so it’s at least comparable to grocery stores, but then put money back on your SNAP card!

that’s so great!

maybe x-post this to [email protected] ? They might be interested to know CSAs sometimes have options like this.

How do they put the money back on the SNAP card, I’m not sure I understand - or is it more like a “rebate” where you pay for the full shares with SNAP, and they refund part of it? Seems weird, I would have expected a discount for using SNAP rather than transacting the full amount.

Unfortunately I didn’t find any details but it’s a fixed amount per family, $80, so not a reimbursement.

They definitely have a discount too, but yeah, two different ways of making it easier to afford this on snap is a complicated way of doing it

Community Supported Agriculture. Farms that grow an actual variety of food, of which you can subscribe to receive a share of. Typically a regular box of seasonal fresh foods.

Not always farms, sometimes they’ll partner with local businesses too. My local CSA offers coffee from local roasters.
