May 22, 2015 | 1 min to read
Raley’s Family of Fine Stores and the Center for Land-Based Learning have partnered on the unnamed groundbreaking of the Food for Families Urban Farm. This unique partnership offers new pathways to developing urban farms in West Sacramento, thereby increasing access to fresh local produce, promoting community sustainability, encouraging volunteerism and stimulating educational opportunities. 25% of the produce grown will benefit Food For Families and create a built in market for beginning farmers to sell their crops.
“For individuals facing food insecurity, access to fresh, healthy food can be a daily challenge,” said Jennie Teal-Wolter, Food For Families Development Officer. “Partnering with the Center For Land-Based Learning to grow fruits and vegetables for our partner food banks is another important and innovative way that Food For Families is working to bring nutritious produce to those who need it most.”
The new urban farm speaks to Raley’s vision of infusing life with health and happiness.
