Delaware Farms Feed Kids Through Justice | Dover News

Governor Matt Meyer is transforming Delaware’s Farm to Processing Program, turning a pilot into a statewide powerhouse that feeds kids, trains inmates, and boosts local farms—all in one bold move. At the Sussex Community Corrections Center, formerly incarcerated individuals are learning real-world food processing skills while helping turn fresh asparagus, strawberries, and more into kid-sized meals for schools and childcare centers. Since launching in April, the program has processed over 5,000 pounds of produce—and dramatically expanded access: the Seaford Boys & Girls Club alone boosted its weekly meal capacity from 500 to 1,600 kids, easing staff burdens while delivering nutritious, locally grown food. This isn’t just about meals—it’s about justice, equity, and community: connecting farmers with families, giving ex-offenders marketable skills, and ensuring every Delawarean gets healthy food—no matter their background or zip code.
