In Cuyahoga County, 150 people shopped at City Fresh "Fresh Stops" during the summer and fall where they purchased fresh, locally grown produce. They also tasted and learned to prepare healthy and delicious dishes from the fresh produce they purchased. A study of City Fresh participants who attended nutrition education sessions revealed they more than doubled their consumption of vegetables and doubled their consumption of fresh fruits. This project was funded by a grant from the USDA.
