About Real Food CT:
Real Food CT tackles rising food insecurity by connecting regional farms, including our own, to provide healthy options for vulnerable populations. We believe everyone deserves access to healthy food. We train young farmer interns, mobilize food system partnerships, and maximize our regional farm network to make sure locally grown produce goes where it is needed most.” In 2025, Real Food CT moved nearly 160,000 lbs of local food to over 30 food pantries with the help of over 25 local farms and market surplus partners.
