Dane County & Second Harvest's Farm to Foodbank Program

The Dane County Podcast

21-10-2022 • 43分

On this episode of The Dane County Podcast, Joe sits down with Michelle Orge, President/CEO of Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, and Scott Williams, Owner of Garden To Be (a family farm in Mount Horeb) and coordinator of a coalition of more than two dozen Wisconsin farmers. Together, the three discuss Dane County and Second Harvest’s “Farm to Foodbank” program.

Initially created to help families meet basic needs during the pandemic, the “Farm to Foodbank” program has opened new doors to what is possible when local growers connect with agencies that keep people fed. Since its debut, the partnership has brought in and boxed over $20 million in food for families across the area. This provides economic security for local agricultural producers and healthy meals for those struggling to meet the cost of filling a grocery cart.

County Executive Parisi’s 2023 budget continues the Farm to Foodbank program through 2023 with $6 million.
