Fulton County Cooperative Extension announced the locations for the 2012 Fulton Fresh Mobile Farmer’s Market at its’ Second Season kick-off which took place on June 13, 2012 at the Shrine of the Black Madonna located at 946 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30310. The Fulton Fresh program provides access to fresh vegetables and nutrition education in communities designated as food deserts.Â
“We are pleased that we could expand the Fulton Fresh program to reach 13 communities versus the 4 communities served in our first season,” stated Menia Chester, Director of Fulton County Cooperative Extension. “Being able to provide access to fresh produce in communities not serviced by a major grocery store chain is important in our efforts to address health disparities in these neighborhoods.” Three additional locations will be announced at a later date.
