About Farm Food Collaborative

​The Farm Food Collaborative (FFC) is a Working Group of local Farmers, Buyers (such as public schools, grocery stores, and restaurants) and agencies that support the journey from farm to plate in north Alabama.  It is facilitated by the Food Bank of North Alabama.  ​As a member of the FFC, the Food Bank is assessing how its infrastructure (cold storage and refrigerated trucks) can be leveraged not only to support charitable feeding programs but also aid local farmers’ ability to sell local foods through the FFC.  This economic impact is multiplied more than twice over as local food dollars are re-circulated throughout the community and farm jobs are created and retained.
