“Old North” Food Co-op Makes Supermarket News

Posted: September 28, 2010 in Raves

Congratulations to our friends in the Old North neighborhood of St. Louis.    The new food co-op was written up in Supermarket News this week.  Check out the link below.   The article gives the Old North Restoration Group kudos for setting up the store in an inner city “food desert” location where less than 40% of the people have access to a car – the coop improves their access to fresh and locally grown fruits and vegetables so they can eat healthy.

Area locals had little access to fresh fruits and vegetables before Old North grocery began selling food grown by regional farmers.
