MISSION
The mission

members to interact. We recognize the importance of knowing where our food
comes from and supporting local farmers as part of our extended community.
VISION |
|
|
At City Greens we
believe nutritious food is an essential component of a happy and healthy life.
Food is our body's fuel. Our community should have access to healthy, fresh,
and affordable choices to fuel our bodies and minds. People unite around
food--sharing meals and memories with family, friends and neighbors. At City
Greens our community is uniting to make sure each of us has the opportunity to
enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables - from the good earth to our family's tables.
City Greens, a community market, is a collaboration between Midtown and
local Missouri farmers started in 2009. It is run by the Midtown staff and many
volunteers. |
