How does buying a Fresh Stop Share address food inequality? If you're low-income, our sliding-scale pricing makes fresh produce affordable just $12 a share. Check the scale below to see if you qualify. If you are higher-income, you pay $25, making produce affordable for low-income families. If you're on SNAP, you only pay $6.
How does buying a Fresh Stop Share help the environment? Vegetables from grocery stores typically travel a long way from a farm to the store. This travel uses fuel and can affect global climate change. By learning to enjoy seasonal local vegetables we can do a small part to reduce climate change. Also, industrial farming, which is the norm for grocery store produce, typically uses fertilizers that require energy to produce. Even many organic farms import fertilizers from great distances. We strive to find farmers who are local and practice sustainable farming.
How does food relate to my faith? When we contemplate the communion table, we find that the ordinary is sacred. It's a place where rank and class can be lessened for a time. The Fresh Stop gives us a chance to act as good caretakers for Creation, while cultivating good relationships with each other. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We should care for them to the best of our ability and eating a more healthy diet is a great place to start!!
