Along with paid subscriptions, Farefield accepts referrals made through health organizations, doctors offices and relief agencies. We also accept SNAP/EBT and Double Up Food Bucks. If you live here, you can eat here with Farefield.
Farefield is your new option for bringing fresh, community-grown food to your table. Sign up is easy – select the subscription that best fits your needs, add or swap items weekly, and set the delivery or pick-up option that works for you. We handle the rest.
It’s food for you, and fair for all.
