Please consider supporting Healthy Food For All by making a donation, joining us for a fundraising event, or volunteering.

Healthy Food For All (HFFA) was initiated by local farmers in 2006 in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension. In 2022, after more than doubling in size and scope, HFFA moved to our current fiscal sponsor, Center for Transformative Action, an independent 501(c)3 non profit based in Ithaca, NY.

We’re proud to be celebrating 20 years of making fresh, quality produce accessible to low-income households in Ithaca and surrounding rural areas through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares and educational nutrition and cooking resources. Ending hunger for over 1,500 youth and adults every year via subsidized household and pantry shares, HFFA has grown into one of our community’s leading nutritional food security program and is revered nationwide as a best practice model. We are proud to help inspire and blaze a path for similar work in communities throughout the United States.

Promoting Sustenance, Stability and Joy: HFFA’s CSA model creates a reliable and dignified way for food-insecure community members to access a rainbow of nutritious locally grown fruits and vegetables grown mere miles from their home, year-after-year, at a price they can afford (SNAP/Food Stamps accepted), and to experience the joys of Community Supported Agriculture, including marginalized members that have historically been excluded from our beautiful landscape of local farms.

Promoting Farm Viability & Resiliency: By fully compensating farmers for growing fruits and vegetables for neighbors in need,  HFFA supports small family-owned farms by providing a stable revenue stream. By supporting HFFA, not only are you helping neighbors in need, you are making an investment in local organic agriculture, in-turn bolstering farm viability and resiliency, and increasing our region’s capacity to sustainably grow good, clean nutritious food for the whole community.

Promoting Environmental Sustainability: HFFA is proud to work with farmers that embrace their roles as environmental stewards, using organic, biodynamic and regenerative practices—techniques that support soil health, protect and improve water quality, help draw down greenhouse gases and restore ecosystems while nurturing fertility and fortifying the harvest—even as pests and extreme weather conditions intensify. We thank our local farmers for nourishing our community in ways that combat climate change and heal our planet. 

Join your neighbor-funded initiative to support local families and farms,
so every community member can be nourished by our local bounty and small local farms thrive as responsible stewards of our land.
