Do you love your veggies? New Roots would love to hear from
you!
The Fresh Stop Markets (FSM) are run by leaders in a
grassroots food justice movement that operates from the belief that fresh food
is a basic human right. FSMs are volunteer, community-driven farm-fresh food
markets that pop up bi-weekly at local churches and community centers in
neighborhoods that do not have grocery stores or farmers’ markets. Shareholders
(“customers”) agree to cooperate and pay ahead of time, on an income-based
sliding scale, for ten varieties of seasonal, local, organic produce that can
then be picked up at a given time and day, at one of the 17 different Kentucky
and southern Indiana Markets. This cooperation and financial commitment ensures
that farmers don’t face the same degree of risk as with traditional farmers’
markets. The sliding scale means food is affordable and everyone is included.
WIC participants pay $6, those at or below 185 percent
federal poverty guidelines pay $12, others pay $25, and those who would like to
invest in the community pay $40. SNAP IS ACCEPTED. Everyone
gets the same food! At every Market a chef hosts a cooking demonstration,
offering samples and recipes for the very same vegetables and fruits that
shareholders bring home. There is a diverse, family reunion atmosphere. Food
justice workshops and the Fresh Stop Training Institute (FSTI) organize Fresh
Stop Market leaders to unite around the pursuit of a healthy, just food system
for all.
The growing season kicks off the week of June 4th.
The location and times of the New Roots Fresh Stop Markets for 2018 can be
found on our website at https://newroots.org/fresh-stop-markets/
or by calling 502-509-6770, Ext. 0, or by emailing info@newroots.org. We look forward to
hearing from everyone soon. Your veggies are waiting!
