Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Blue Zones Project – Monterey County (BZPMC) team, volunteers, and local partners, individuals across Monterey County now have more access to locally-grown produce than ever before.
According to recent data, more than 40% of Monterey County residents are food insecure, with two in five having run out of food or worried about running out of food within the past year. More than 27,000 local families rely on CalFresh/SNAP to buy groceries, with that number only increasing since the pandemic.
