The DNA (Developing Neighborhood Agriculture) Initiative’s goal is to partner local stores with community farms and provide a market for local community farmers to sell their produce. Through a cooperative agreement, we hope to offer liquor stores incentive’s to sell fresh fruits and vegetables. Liquor stores tend to be well established and prolific in neighborhoods and, if provided with the resources, can re-purposed as a positive fixture in communities. Not only is there an opportunity to improve their pubic image but provide groceries for those in desperate need of fresh food within walking distance.
