Saw some media reports on this. Folks they interviewed seemed to really like the idea. Never heard the term "food desert" before this but there are more than a few in/around Jacksonville based on the graphic they showed in one story. Great to see the young people involved in this initiative too. I heard that 400 people made purchases. JTA's Rosa Parks Station looks like a good venue for this venture. Might have to go get some peaches.
