Orange County
Orange County blends thriving farmland, growing suburban communities, and a strong local food economy. Dairy farms, orchards, and vegetable growers fuel markets across the region. Yet food insecurity continues to affect many households, particularly in rural and lower-income communities. Project FoodBox brings fresh, nutritious foods directly to Orange County families, supporting healthier living while reinforcing the region’s agricultural foundation.
Orange County's Agricultural Heritage
Orange County’s broad floodplains once sustained indigenous cornfields and abundant wild harvests. Later, settlers turned the “Black Dirt” region into one of North America’s most productive vegetable-growing soils, famed for onions, root crops, and dairy farms. That agricultural strength remains, yet barriers to food access persist. Inspired by deep farming roots, Orange County is working to ensure every household benefits from the land’s remarkable abundance.
