"In Manchester, a 'farm stand on wheels' aims to make fresh food more accessible"

"Every other week, Molly Stark brings a van filled with berries, corn and so much more to neighborhoods across Manchester that would otherwise have little access to locally grown produce. Being consistent, Stark says, is key.

“I've been at every stop and I have developed relationships with a lot of my customers,” Stark said. “You know what they're going to want. This particular lady loves garlic scapes, [so we offer] a few extra just so she has them.”

This “farm stand on wheels,” run by the Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success, launched in Manchester in 2019 and has since grown to include stops in Nashua and Concord. But it’s playing an especially critical role this year in the Queen City, where — unlike many other New Hampshire communities — there isn’t a traditional summer farmers’ market." READ MORe
