Our Local Food Partner

Fair Shares is a Combined Community Supported Agriculture program (CCSA). Local farmers and producers deliver food directly to Fair Shares, and they distribute it to members in weekly shares. Through this system, members get amazing, healthy food in a convenient way while supporting dozens of family farms and producers—most within 100 miles of St. Louis. Through partnering with Fair Shares, Fresh Rx participants get fresh produce, plus tons of other local foods like eggs, bread, rice, and pasta delivered weekly.

To learn more and see local farmers involved, visit FairShares.org or Meet the Farmers here.
