Thank you so much!!

Just Roots is a non-profit farm that is successfully breaking down the barriers that prevent low income families from accessing fresh, local food. Most Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm shares are only accessible to people who have enough money to purchase a farm share upfront while those who cannot afford this cost are excluded from this community asset. Just Roots is changing the CSA landscape in the Pioneer Valley. 

Also, through its healthy snack market program, Just Roots is empowering school-aged children, some of Franklin County's most vulnerable community members, to make healthy food choices. Alongside a progressive, child-focused school meal program in the Greenfield Public Schools, Just Roots is providing meaningful experiences with healthy food in schools and is helping to change school snacks and lunch. 

Your support will help Just Roots make farm shares affordable as well as continue and expand the healthy snack market in our local schools. If you don't help, who will?
