OUR 2025 ANNUAL REPORT IS HERE!

And the BEET goes on…

I’m so excited to release our 2025 Annual Report today along with our first ever Fiscal Audit.

Compiling this annual report was a labor of love, because WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!

During the time I’ve spent gathering information, formatting and finalizing, Farm2People:

• Received our final Auditor’s Report for 2025 (this past Monday - woot woot!)

• Launched an almost daily rhythm of produce deliveries (alternating between 4 and 7 instances per week) to new and recurring community org partners. That’s all happening with our new refrigerated van (thanks to the CDFA’s 2025 RFSI grant) with additional support from a rented reefer on the heavier days! Fernando, Henry and I alternate as drivers. Say hey if you see us

• Picked our van up from the shop after furnishing it with a new catalytic converter because ours was stolen mere months into ownership. LOL. Classic. We’re all restored now

• Welcomed Jocelyn into their new role as Comms Manager

• Bid tearful but sweet goodbyes to our previous Comms Manager Helen Dodd

We also began working on Food is Medicine explorations in three distinct different ways. We have begun:

• A procurement pilot for a clinical cohort in Wilmington, subsidizing the cost of local, values-driven purchasing with grant funding

• A “Downstate, Producer-focused FiM Working Group” with Fullwell, farmer and hub friends

• Our own FiM landscape assesment with Transform Health

It’s been inspiring to catalogue the successes and challenges of 2025 while balancing so much activity in the present. I feel Farm2People’s growth and eagerness palpably.

I’m grateful for your attention and excited for your feedback. Let me know what you think at anna@farm2people.org. I look forward to hearing from you!
