Get your share of the harvest!

The Healthy Food for All Program

We believe that healthy food should be available to everyone, regardless of income!

The Healthy Food for All program was founded as a partnership of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County with the Tompkins Area CSA Coalition (which includes the three Full Plate farms, Early Morning Farm, Sweet Land Farm, Three Sisters Farm, Westhaven Farm, and Kestrel Perch Berries).  The program provides subsidized CSA shares to low-income households in the Ithaca area. 

Healthy Food for All members receive a bountiful weekly share of the local harvest from one of the participating farms, and can also take advantage of free nutritional cooking classes to gain skills and ideas of how to prepare the variety of local produce in their shares, as well as biweekly workshops on food preservation, home composting and fun u-pick trips to fruit farms.

If you are interested in applying for a subsidized CSA share, please contact Liz Karabinakis at Cornell Cooperative Extension for more information (by e-mail or 607.272.2292).

Supporting the Program

Buy Tickets to the 2009 Harvest Dinners

This program is made possible through the generous support of many community members, organizations and businesses. Major financial donors include the Ithaca Health Alliance and the United Way of Tompkins County.

Funds are now being raised for one hundred low-income families to benefit from the program during the 2009 growing season. Throughout the year, the participating farms host events to benefit the program, such as the Harvest Dinners, a series of fine dining events produced by a collaboration of local farms, chefs, winemakers, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Edible Finger Lakes.
