The University of California San Diego is expanding the existing ¡Más Fresco! More Fresh Nutrition Incentive program. The expanded program, known as ¡Más Fresco! Plus, provides community members who are experiencing health disparities, including food insecurity and diet-related chronic disease, with a box of farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, from a local San Diego farm, delivered to their home.

If you enrolled before October 1, 2024, you will receive deliveries about twice a month for 12 months until you receive 24 deliveries total. This 12-month program has reached capacity and is closed.

If you enrolled after October 1, 2024, you will receive deliveries weekly for about 6 months until you receive 24 deliveries total.

To reach out to community members across San Diego County, we are partnering with community-based organizations to help us promote ¡Más Fresco! Plus.

This program is part of a University of California San Diego research study that aims to learn how nutrition incentives provided through ¡Más Fresco! Plus affect access to healthy foods, and how they help people consume more fruits and vegetables for better health.

The goal of ¡Más Fresco! Plus is to increase access to and consumption of healthy foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, among community members who are experiencing health disparities, including food insecurity and diet-related chronic disease, while at the same time improving nutrition and health status among program participants.

• 18 years of age or older
• Referred by a San Diego County community-based organization that has determined that you could benefit from increased access to and consumption of healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables
• One participant per household
• Live in San Diego County
• Have not previously participated in the ¡Más Fresco! Plus program

¡Más Fresco! Plus is different from the existing ¡Más Fresco! More Fresh Nutrition Incentive program in that it does not require you to be enrolled in CalFresh in order to receive benefits.

Additionally, you may have the opportunity to participate in two surveys – one during enrollment and a follow-up survey. These surveys will help us better understand how ¡Más Fresco! Plus may help participants access and eat healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables, to improve health. Each survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Participation in the surveys is voluntary.

To make sure that your farm-fresh produce box arrives safely to your front door, please provide any special delivery instructions in the ¡Más Fresco! Plus online enrollment form. For example, if your address has a locked gate that requires an access code, or if you have any other special delivery instructions, please be sure to provide that information when you enroll in ¡Más Fresco! Plus.

Once you enroll in the program, if you have any questions about your farm-fresh produce box, including any questions about the delivery of your produce box, please contact Yasukochi Family Farms at 760-458-4827, or at yasukochifamilyfarms@gmail.com.

If you have a delivery scheduled and do not receive your box by 5:00 pm that day, please contact Yasukochi Family Farms immediately at yasukochifamilyfarms@gmail.com.
