Produce Rx

Welcome to Caja Solidaria’s Produce Prescription Program.

Caja is able to offer this program through the Healthy Opportunity Pilot to Medicaid members with a referral from their care managers.

If you have spoken to a care manager with your Medicaid provider and they referred you to Caja for a fruit and vegetable prescription, then you can choose one of the two options below.

If you aren’t sure, call or text Sonya at (828)290-9717.

You can use your Produce Rx for a Caja share. Click the “Buy Now” link below.

Unfortunately, Caja Solidaria does not currently have the Healthy Harvest Program as the TRACTOR Food and Farms Program funding has come to an end. We are exploring other options and hope to offer a similar program again in the future.
