Fiery Ginger Farms to lead Spork Food Hub in West Sacramento with CDFA support for early-learning nutrition
Summary
A presenter said Fiery Ginger Farms will lead the Spork Food Hub project in West Sacramento and that funds from the California Department of Food and Agriculture will help buy materials for early-learning sites to receive agricultural and nutrition education.
Fiery Ginger Farms, an urban farm in West Sacramento, is leading the Spork Food Hub project and will use funds from the California Department of Food and Agriculture to buy materials and supplies for early-learning sites, a presenter said.
The presenter described the hub as the farm’s fourth food-hub effort and said it will provide agricultural and nutrition information and education that staff at early-learning sites can share with families. “They’ll be getting agricultural and nutrition information and education to share with their families and also to help families understand how to prepare delicious fresh produce in fun recipes for their children,” the presenter said.
City staff or program partners were not named in the transcript excerpt and the amount and timing of the CDFA support were not specified. The remarks framed the project as combining local urban agriculture with early-childhood nutrition education and family outreach.
The presenter also said materials purchased with CDFA funds would support hands-on activities and recipes for children, and that Fiery Ginger Farms is acting as the lead organization for the Spork Food Hub in West Sacramento. Details about distribution, participating early-learning facilities and an implementation schedule were not provided in the excerpt.
