    Our mission is to identify and facilitate adoption of healthy lifestyle patterns by managing public, producer-direct food and art/craft delivery systems, such as Certified Farmers Markets - as public forums and consumer-safe shopping environments - to maximize human health.

    We work collaboratively with schools & community service organizations to do outreach, research, raise funds, and deliver health services (including WIC and Food Stamps) by providing for their integration into the consumer-safe food shopping environments created by direct grower-to-consumer exchanges.

    Weekly Video Feature
