PRESENTER

Food Access Healthy Neighborhoods Now! (FAHNN) Learn about Rhonda S. Vesey’s story, and how she organized neighbors in the Valley/Southside of Syracuse, NY to create a grassroots farmers market with farm-fresh produce and local value added products in the midst of extreme food insecurity.

In 2018, the only full-service grocery store on the Valley/South Side of Syracuse, NY shut down, leaving residents without access to fresh foods. In 2020, a group of residents formed a community-led Farmers Market to bring affordable locally grown produce and value-added products to neighbors.
