IntroductionUrban produce stands are an increasingly popular model for introducing fresh produce into low income neighborhoods which have difficulty supporting supermarkets, small retail markets, restaurants and farmers markets. Non-profit organizations, schools with garden programs, and small farmers are setting up individual stands which sell produce they have grown themselves or have procured from other local farmers thereby providing under-served communities with much needed access to locally produced fresh fruits and vegetables. Benefits of Produce Stands
Our Urban Farm Stand ProjectsSoil Born Farms has two new urban farm stand projects offering locally grown produce for the 2008 season. The farm stands offer certified organic produce grown by Soil Born Farms as well as produce from other small local farmers that meet our specific production requirements. These stands serve to meet food access needs in under-served neighborhoods throughout Sacramento and provide a new sales outlet for local farmers. Locations and hours here: Head Start farm stands Our American River Ranch farm stand opens on May 31!
