Seeds That Feed Connects Northwest Arkansas Farmers with Food-Insecure Residents

Seeds That Feed Connects Northwest Arkansas Farmers with Food-Insecure Residents

Seeds That Feed, a nonprofit organization in Northwest Arkansas, is actively connecting local farmers with over 30,000 food-insecure residents by distributing surplus produce. Founded in 2011, the initiative began when co-founders Alyssa Snyder and Margaret Thomas discovered that farmers often had excess crops beyond market demand, rather than needing to plant extra rows. The organization has since established a mobile food network, collecting hundreds to thousands of pounds of surplus produce weekly from farms and farmers' markets. This produce is then distributed to more than 50 sites, including community refrigerators, apartment complexes, schools, and through home delivery. Farmers like Jeremy Baranauska of Prairie Woods Farm contribute excess vegetables, ensuring that food that would otherwise go to waste reaches those in need. Seeds That Feed also partners with organizations like Spring Creek Food Hub, a Springdale-based nonprofit, to aggregate and distribute products.
