Today I helped run the Interfaith Food Shuttle stand at the Wakemed Farmer’s Market again. There were even more vendors than last week! I recognized some familiar faces, and also met some new local businesses. My favorite stand was the peach/peach ice cream stand right beside us, which smelled delicious all day! It was also great to meet some of the same EBT customers I had seen last week. On woman with three children remarked how she had been  waiting all year for the Wakemed Farmer’s Market to open back up for the season. It’s wonderful to see the direct impact of bringing fresh produce to a food desert.
