Farm to Family
We secure excess produce from California’s fields and deliver it to food banks throughout the state.
We do not offer food. Here’s where you can find food.

我們不直接提供食物,但我們能幫助您找尋食物。
Since 2005, our Farm to Family program delivers more than 200 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables annually to food banks throughout the state — nourishing our communities and reducing food waste. The program also secures and delivers shelf-stable foods like beans, soups, cereals, and grains, as well as proteins like eggs and meat.
If you are interested in being a food donor to our Farm to Family program, please reach out to our team at farmtofamily@cafoodbanks.org.
“You work so hard to make sure you have a crop, and to watch good food go bad in the field, not get eaten — it really defeats what we’re doing out here. We’re doing what nature intended to do, which is to take care of the land and produce good, healthy food for families.”
–Elio Angel, Cache Produce
Each year, farmers, packers, and distributors donate to the Farm to Family program. As one of the largest food recovery programs in the country, California’s agricultural community relies on Farm to Family to make sure excess produce doesn’t go to waste, and food banks rely on Farm to Family for their food distributions.
