Field to Fork: Summer 2025 Recap

At Retaaza, we believe every crop grown deserves a chance to feed people – not fuel food waste. That’s the heart of Field to Fork, our food rescue and food access partnership with Second Helpings Atlanta. Through Field to Fork, we identify produce at risk of going to waste, purchase it from Georgia farmers at fair prices, and get it into the hands of families who need fresh food the most.

Mission Milestone: 1 Million Pounds Rescued

We’re proud to share that we’ve officially rescued 1 MILLION POUNDS of locally-grown produce from becoming food waste! Every pound rescued is a pound that Retaaza paid a local farmer a fair price for — always at our farmer-first prices — and saved from becoming food waste. No donations of produce expected from our growers — ever. Just actual cash in their pockets for their hard work.

Field to Fork Pilot: Early Wins

Driven by the belief that every crop grown deserves a chance to nourish a neighbor not feed into the issue of food waste, Retaaza and Second Helpings Atlanta have embarked on a pilot program to make that belief an everyday reality.‍ Our Field to Fork Program rescues fresh, Georgia-grown produce and delivers it to Metro Atlanta nonprofit agencies feeding our communities. By using Retaaza's model of compensating Georgia’s farmers at farmer-first prices, it covers the cost of growing and harvesting their produce, provides an additional revenue stream for farmers, and also delivers fresh produce to families in need.
