description This study describes Farm to Family (F2F), a program that facilitates access to affordable produce among low-income families with preschool children. F2F was pilot tested in urban Head Start programs that served as the conduit for weekly produce deliveries from a local farm to families in the form of subsidized farm shares. A mixed-method program evaluation was used to understand the strengths and challenges of the F2F model from the perspectives of farm and Head Start staff, assess family and staff participation rates, examine families' perceptions of the program, and explore short-term changes in children's health behaviors.
