Description

Come learn about healthy staple foods in the City of Minneapolis!

A

But yesterday I came and got a fresh lettuce for a salad, so yeah I always come here and get my fruits and vegetables.

B

I think it's really have healthy food really close to me.

C

We can find everything we need right here.

A

I just love this store. It's part of my neighborhood and I like that.

D

In many communities in Minneapolis access isn't the same for healthy foods as in other communities. So we developed the staple foods ordinance and adopted it as a way to increase access to healthy staple foods.

C

So when we first heard about the odinians, it was like: oh, how are we gonna do it, but when we tried it I like it to acted more concerns to my store and it helping my existing customers.

E

Staple food ordinance enhanced my business I started, keeping a healthy 100 juices and cereal. Apart from lentils, beans and peas. We already have I saw a lot of vegetables and yogurt milk and 100 juices.

F

We have food from Mexico, we have fruit from Guatemala from Salvador from Ecuador and I really think us and others businesses. If we keep up with that- and we have like a big variety I think eventually, it's going to be better for our business and it's gonna be better for the.

C

For the community we sell a lot of beaches and grapes. I have a thing there. There are, some people buy the bag. Mike can, we believe, just watch it and I see them outside just as naked waiting for the bus. We.

E

Sell fresh vegetables and carry all kind of dairy products for the small retailers. Like me, it is a lot of encouragement and bonding between the small businesses and City.

D

Some of the store owners I work with are a little intimidated, perhaps by what's on the list and they're, not sure if it's going to sell, but after working with the store owners on maybe placement of where it goes in the store. They're really finding that especially the fresh fruits and vegetables are selling really well.

F

Our consumers will always come and they will appreciate all the different items.

C

That we have well customers like that idea. That's easy access to healthy food. It was big shifting that you have to have those food, but over the time I found out that it's just like any other biotics.
