USDA's Farmers to Families Food Box Program The Sonnyside of the Farm

This month, Secretary Sonny interviews a farmer and a processor to talk about USDA’s Farmers to Families Food Box Program. The food supply chain as a whole has been hit hard by the coronavirus – from the farmers that grow the food, to the processors who move the food, to the families who need food now more than ever. To work through these challenges, USDA created innovative new program, called Farmers to Families Food Box, where we buy excess produce, dairy and meat from our farmers and processing companies box it and deliver it to those most in need. Programs like this are the best that America has to offer – it all comes down to Americans helping Americans.
