Looking for fresh, local food?
Try the Food Next Door Farm Subscription Program!
Brought to you by the SWELL Sports Nutrition graduate students with funding from The Colorado Farm & Food System Respond & Rebuild Fund and the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at UCCS College of Business.
The Food Next Door Farm Subscription Program brings fresh, locally grown, and ethically raised food to UCCS’s community in support of health and wellbeing, community food security, and farm and food literacy.
Here is how it works:
Subscribe monthly for $100/month and pick up your farm fresh food each Friday from the Sports Nutrition Lab at the William J. Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center (social distancing guidelines will be followed). This program works in four-week increments. You buy a subscription for four weeks (renewable after the first four weeks) and get a weekly Food Next Door Farm Bag filled with 100% locally sourced produce, grains, and beans with an option to add-on cheese, eggs, and meat from Southern Colorado's farmers and ranchers. The program will run until December 2020. The program is linked with fun food literacy facts and tips for your own kitchen and recorded cooking demos so you know how to integrate Colorado-grown and raised food into delicious meals. Food literacy topics focus on local and regional foods, ethics of eating, food culture, and eating for wellness and sports performance. To continue this program, we need at least 25 subscribers! Subscribe now; see link below!
Month 3 subscriptions are now open and will close on Monday (11/2) at midnight. The first pick up will be on Friday, 11/6 and the last pick up will be on Friday, 11/20. Please note that there will be no pickup during fall break, so the last week will be a double bag week so you receive a full 4 weeks of farm fresh food and so you can stock up for Thanksgiving.
