Community Food Access Program # Community Food Access Program * Community Food Access Program * Tax Credit Frequently Asked Questions * Community Food Consortium * Community Food Access Grants * Program Design Workshops * CFA Grant Advisory Committee / Comité Consultivo de la Subvención CFA The Community Food Access Program was established in spring of 2022 in House Bill 1380 “to improve access to and lower prices for healthy foods in low-income and underserved areas of the state by supporting small food retailers."
The program includes a Community Food Consortium for small food retailers and Colorado-owned and Colorado-operated farms as well as the Small Food Business Recovery and Resilience grant program.
In 2023, the Community Food Access program was expanded to include refundable tax credits for small food retailers and small family farms who make costly equipment purchases or incur delivery or distribution fees to increase access to healthy food in low income and underserved areas of Colorado. The Community Food Access Program is funded in part by State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.
Application periods for the Tax Credit close April 30th, August 30th and December 31st 2026. The final day to apply for a tax credit for equipment purchased in 2025 is December 31st, 2026.
