Welcome from Maritza Owens, Founder of Harvest Home Farmer's Market 

 


Welcome, welcome, welcome to FRESHEN UP - Harvest Home Farmer's Market's new weekly blog! In case you couldn't tell,  I'M VER Y EXCITED to launch this blog as a forum for our staff, farmers and - most importantly - our customers to share their experiences at our Farmer's Markets along with delicious, easy to cook recipes.

In case you don't know, Harvest Home is a non-profit dedicated to increasing access to local, farm-fresh produce to under-served communities in NYC. Since 1993, we have worked tirelessly to provide healthy options to NYC residents living in "food deserts" and now manage 17 markets that serve more than 250,000 shoppers a year. That's a lot of fresh produce!

Each week, our blog will share a glimpse of the Harvest Home world and introduce you to new and exciting ways to prepare and serve healthy meals. Want to get started right away? Join our Eating for Good Health online community where you can set up your own health profile and create personalized recipes tailored to your taste and health needs. Go to  http://app.harvesthomefm.org/ to sign up and download our FREE Harvest Home Eating for Good Health app to your smartphone.  

I look forward to hearing your comments, sharing your stories and reading your emails. We all want to make our families healthier, let's work together!

To health and happiness, 

Maritza Owens
