Marion Polk Food Share  — Organically Grown Company

Farm Share RX’s goal is to provide low-income community members who are at risk of dietary-related illnesses with free produce. They partner with three different clinics where dietitians and clinicians guide selections for who most needs these foods. Selections are driven by things like prevalence of food insecurity, an interest in eating more produce and most importantly, an illness of some kind that can be improved with the addition of fruits and veggies. For participants, the program is lifechanging and completely free. 

Marion Polk Food Share’s three mobile pantries reach people who have challenges to accessing fresh produce, like lack of transportation, physical disabilities, health related issues or farm workers who can’t leave the farm. These are pop up pantries that travel to places where people need them most.  

In 2023, OGC gave Marion Polk Food Share an unrestricted Mission Fund Grant that was used for things like seeds, supplies, potting mix and stipends for the youth farmers.  

“Thanks, OGC, for your support” said Laura Engle, grants manager at Marion Polk Food Share. “The need in our community is greater than we currently have capacity for, and every dollar helps us grow more food for the people who need it most.”
