Harvesting Health Pilot Program Survey
Thank You for Being Part of the Harvesting Health Pilot!
We’re so grateful for your participation in the Harvesting Health Pilot Program, your involvement helps strengthen our local farmers’ economy.
We need your feedback right away to help us evaluate our service and continue this important program. Your voice makes a real difference — what you share helps shape the future of Harvesting Health!
“Everyone involved with having OMC in partnership needs a complete heads up. Harvesting Health is a wonderful program. Being able to receive such good local produce ready to be placed in your vehicle every week is very beneficial. A printout of the veggies in the box with tips on preparation and recipes only puts icing on the cake.
Negative interactions aren't present. We are treated with so much kindness and cheer I can't find words to express how recipients feel. We know what we are getting is fresh, the boxes are already made. and distributed evenly.
I initially did not sign up for this service fast enough and was put on a waiting list. When I went inside to complete paperwork, I was lucky and chatted with Lisa, person developing this program. I am now part of this first group of people. No longer on waiting list!!
So, kudos for and to OMC for participating!”

We’re so glad you’re here! We’re excited to partner with you to support your health by providing access to local farm-fresh food. SE MN Food Rescue & Redistribution (SEMNFRR), in partnership with Olmsted Medical Center (OMC), is proud to launch Harvesting Health, a 12-week program designed to help you feel your best, one healthy meal at a time.
You’ve been thoughtfully referred by your healthcare provider because they care about your overall health, and they know that access to fresh, nutritious food plays a big role in staying well.
What to Expect
Each week, you’ll pick up a box filled with 18–20 pounds of fresh, healthy food from local farms.
Every item in your box is chosen with your health in mind.
Instructions for storage as well as delicious recipes for how to prepare the fresh food are included each week.
Why this mission is so important
Your participation in this program is about more than food, it’s about your whole well-being. OMC is partnering in this effort because they believe good health starts with great care. By making nutritious food part of your care, Harvesting Health supports you in building strong habits that can make a lasting difference in your life.
Let’s Get Started
Food boxes are limited so sign up today.
Only one form is needed per household. Data from this form will be sent to both SEMNFRR and OMC. This information will be used to help better understand your needs to make your food box work best for you, track health outcome measures, and inform future changes to the program.
You Are Not Alone
If you have questions or need anything, your healthcare provider or program staff are here to help.
