The Farm Market Program

Fresh, whole food is the foundation of good health. Hand in hand with the Community Outreach Program, The Initiative will work with the Farm Market Trust to actively pursue an effort to bring farm markets and their fresh produce to inner cities. Additionally, together with local and state governments, The Initiative will work to secure grants for food stamp programs to be used exclusively at these markets.
