HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The Farm Food Collaborative (FFC) is gearing up for a busy summer and leaders are working hard to ensure every child in North Alabama has regular access to fresh, healthy locally grown fruits and vegetables.
The FFC has been operating out of the Food Bank of North Alabama since 2014. Leaders help area farmers sell into wholesale markets, including K-12 school districts, early care and education sites, grocery stores and restaurants.
According to co-manager Carey Martin-Lane, retail sales for farmers skyrocketed last year and as a result, farmers planted extra this season in case the high demand continued. However, farmers are now left with an abundance of produce.
