"It gives one more market, one more opportunity, to sell their product."

- Jennifer Ott, State Director, Nevada Department of Agriculture, explains the newly launched Home Feeds Nevada Agriculture Food Purchase Program, where the department receives funding to purchase products directly from Nevada farmers, ranchers and processors, then distributes it to local food banks. She says the program will help farmers and ranchers recover some of the market they may have lost during the pandemic, boost the supply chain in Nevada and address food shortages and food insecure populations.
