This toolkit shares AdkAction’s innovative “Farmacy” model: an approach to expanding healthy food access by partnering with existing businesses to offer fresh, locally sourced foods alongside their core products. Developed in rural Northern New York, the model reduces startup costs while strengthening connections between communities, small retailers, and local farmers. Designed for organizations and businesses looking to address food insecurity, the toolkit outlines how to adapt and replicate this flexible approach in a range of settings, from rural towns to urban neighborhoods, using any willing brick-and-mortar partner.
