Families

Since becoming a shareholder with the New Albany Fresh Stop Market, I am taking less medication and losing weight. My family has become more knowledgeable about what food to avoid. We have a better relationship with our neighbors and continue to make new relationships in our community.

Businesses

In my opinion, it’s a win-win-win-win: we get to help some of our employees get a nice deal on this wonderful, fresh produce, and we get to support the Fresh Stop Market in making what it offers available to even more of our neighbors in the Portland Neighborhood.

Farmers

We love Fresh Stop markets! Our partnership has allowed us to live our passion of getting local fresh veggies into peoples’ homes, and along the way we have met so many wonderful people who have become our community.

Volunteer

Not only was New Roots a great place for me to use my skills in video production, and to give back in a way that I cared about, but it also gave me a lot of information and passion to continue working in food justice.
