Residents at California State Prison Solano enjoying California-grown produce <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong> — CDFA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program<\/a>, utilizing funds provided by the USDA, awarded a grant of nearly $440,000 to the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources division to facilitate increased access to California-grown produce for residents of the state corrections system. This article from UC ANR explains more. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving slices of watermelon on the Fourth of July is a long-standing tradition at some facilities within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. But this July, there was something different about the watermelon offered to the approximately 8,000 residents at California State Prison Solano, California Medical Facility and Folsom State Prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was juicy. It was sweet. It was \u201cscrumdiddlyumptious,\u201d according to one resident. And it was grown on a California family farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three institutions are part of a \u201cfarm to corrections\u201d project, Harvest of the Month, which aims to serve seasonal, locally grown produce to people who are incarcerated in California, while opening new opportunities for California farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe appreciate that someone cares enough to introduce this program that gives us something new,\u201d said Jason Romero, a California State Prison Solano resident. \u201cWe look forward to what’s coming in the future \u2013 California has the best stuff, right? \u2013 and hopefully we get other varieties of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program \u2013 bringing together the Nutrition Policy Institute<\/a>, the nonprofit Impact Justice<\/a>, and ChangeLab Solutions<\/a> in collaboration with CDCR \u2013 was officially launched with the watermelon delivery in July. Pluots followed in August, and Bartlett pears were delivered in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a \u2018multiple wins’ kind of an effort,\u201d said Wendi Gosliner, the NPI principal investigator on the California Department of Food and Agriculture specialty crop block grant supporting the project. \u201cThe funding is available because the state is looking for state partners to purchase and expand the markets for California-grown fruits and vegetables. And we know that getting more of those fruits and vegetables on the plates of people who are incarcerated would be a huge bonus for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California State Prison Solano resident Patrick Range said that, after tasting pluots for the first time through the program, the plum-apricot hybrid is now one of his favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I had five of them that day \u2013 and I’m waiting for them to have them again so I can get more; they were so good,\u201d Range said. \u201cIt’s something I’d never experienced, in the outside world or in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With rave reviews from residents and staff alike, CDCR \u2013 the State of California’s biggest purchaser of food \u2013 is planning to roll out Harvest of the Month to all 33 of its adult facilities within the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFood brings individuals together and introducing new products can give those in the care of CDCR something to talk about, as well as look forward to,\u201d said Lance Eshelman, CDCR’s departmental food administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving conditions for people within correctional institutions is core to the mission of Impact Justice, which is working with partner organizations across the U.S. to bring fresher, more nutritious food to facilities, in support of residents’ physical, mental and emotional health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe really want to prioritize the holistic well-being of an individual to help ensure that once they come home from incarceration, they are in a place where they are ready to actually contribute back to society,\u201d said Heile Gantan, program associate with the Food in Prison project<\/a> at Impact Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range said that enjoying the fresh produce \u2013 and learning more about its nutritional value \u2013 is helping him live a healthier, more energized, and hopefully longer life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was a kid that didn’t like vegetables; I didn’t want nothing to do with vegetables\u2026[but] as an adult, being 46 years of age, I want this for myself \u2013 I want to be able to tell someone else, to teach someone else about what I experienced when getting these fruits and vegetables that helped that nutritional factor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Gosliner noted that early research suggests better food can benefit not only the well-being of residents but also of staff, with a calmer and safer work environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership built on shared values, priorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gosliner and Ron Strochlic, academic coordinator at NPI, saw an opportunity to support \u201cfarm to corrections\u201d work through a CDFA block grant, which aims to boost the purchase of California-grown specialty crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCDCR is the state’s largest single purchaser of food, so they’re a natural place to consider ways to improve food systems,\u201d said Gosliner, who was awarded the grant<\/a> in 2020 to work with partners to research and develop pathways that encourage CDCR procurement of California produce, as well as nutrition programs for formerly incarcerated individuals. The project produced a report<\/a> summarizing the opportunities and challenges in bringing more California-grown produce to the state’s prison system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff at Impact Justice appreciated that the NPI team brought not only research and evaluation acumen to the partnership but also an abiding concern for the people inside correctional facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur grant funding was focused on simply increasing access to and consumption of California-grown specialty crops in CDCR prisons, but our team was very much in alignment around values and really focusing on the health and well-being of residents \u2013 highlighting and amplifying residents’ experiences and voices,\u201d said Leslie Soble, senior program manager of the Food in Prison Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gantan echoed that sentiment, adding that NPI \u2013 which is under the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources<\/a> umbrella \u2013 also contributed its familiarity with regional food systems, particularly food hubs across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the NPI team, engaging food hubs \u2013 organizations that aggregate, distribute and market food products from local producers \u2013 was a logical way to make a \u201cfarm to corrections\u201d match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe majority of CDCR facilities are located in rural, agricultural regions, so to us, it was kind of a no-brainer to connect those facilities with the local communities and local farmers in the area,\u201d Strochlic explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Harvest of the Month project, the partners teamed up with Spork, a Davis-based, mission-driven food hub that sources from growers across Northern California. Spork also aggregates the fresh produce from local farmers and delivers it to participating CDCR facilities each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe farmers are very excited to see the change in the systems at CDCR in food and nutrition and what they’re offering to the residents \u2013 and they’re excited for the potential that this has for a larger, more consistent market,\u201d said Hope Sippola, co-owner of Spork, which emphasizes working with underserved farmers as part of its mission. \u201cWe really needed to dig deep to figure out how to successfully implement this change of CDCR purchasing from large distributors to a food hub who sources from local family farms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
