In November of 2011, Everyone’s Harvest received half of its funding for the Monterey County Farmers’ Markets and Food Desert Project from the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Farmers Market Promotion Program.
Everyone’s Harvest is moving forward with the Project’s work and seeking additional support to fulfill the whole Project.
Everyone’s Harvest objectives with the Monterey County Farmers’ Markets and Food Desert Project are to:
- Support Everyone’s Harvest Certified Farmers’ Markets farmers to expand their own businesses to provide more fresh fruits and vegetables and value added products to California
- Increased the consumer base at Everyone’s Harvest Certified Farmers’ Markets including pole banners, a re-usable recycled bag project and a moving art mural project
- Support California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) Dining Services to develop a weekly farm stand supporting CSUMB student learning about local food systems and the Alisal Certified Farmers’ Market in East Salinas
