The purpose of this bill is to establish the West Virginia Healthy Food Crop Block Grant Program. The program will provide an incentive of up to $10,000 per year to eligible West Virginia farmers who commit to growing fruits and vegetables that serve community health initiatives. Produce from the healthy food crop block grants will be managed in real-time within a statewide inventory system administered by a food and farm nonprofit organization and delivered straight to hospitals, senior food services, “farmacies”, kid's markets, nutrition programs, and neighborhood wellness programs to name a few.
