Affordable Produce Program
This program is designed to provide equitable access to our produce.
WHO CAN APPLY? Elders, Veterans, caregivers, students, and anyone who is challenged to afford healthy, fresh food are welcome to apply.
THE PROGRAM: You receive Farm Bucks, a credit to buy produce at Rugged Roots Farm in Quincy, in exchange for either volunteering on the farm, paying a portion of your share, or simply filling out the application & surveys. Whatever works best for you! Farm Bucks can be used June - Oct.
We accept applications starting April 1st until all 40 spots are filled.
Please email info@lostsierrafoodproject.org if you have any questions.
-
Farm Bucks can be used at the Honor System Fridge located onsite, the Tuesday Evening Farm Stand, and at the LSFP booth at the Quincy Farmers Market. They can also be used for U-pick and at the Pumpkin Patch.

Farm Bucks can only be used to purchase produce or added-value products. They cannot be used to purchase merch, raffle tickets, or prepared food/drinks.

Farm Bucks are tracked by the Lost Sierra Food Project. Farm Bucks holders may request a balance at any time via email to admin@lostsierrafoodproject.org. LSFP staff will email Farm Bucks holders in the months of July, August, and September with balance updates. In addition, starting in July, Farm Bucks balances will be available at the Tuesday Farm Stand (just ask).
